Clogged toilet, shower, sink combo

[EnthusedOne22]

Hi,

I have a toilet that is clogged in the bathroom, and now it is clogging everything in the bathroom. Please help.

I ran a long snake (about 4 or 5 feet) down it yesterday many times, but it would not de-clog. I tried a plunger too, but nothing. The clog seemed to be just beyond the snake, because when I played with the snake, it stirred up the "color" in the water, but did not move the clog.

Then finally, after trying these things over and over, the toilet flushed - and I was so excited! - until I heard something in the shower.

I looked and water was coming up in the shower from the toilet! (I could tell because it had that "color.")

Then, I went to wash my hands in the sink, and the toilet started bubbling, and water started coming up in the shower again!

The toilet went back to being clogged right away too.

Is there anything I can do to de-clog this on my own? I tried pouring a version of draino in the shower, thinking that maybe it would fix the problem (if it is in the part that links the shower, toilet, and sink), but now the water that I used to rinse it after 15 minutes is just standing in the shower.

If the plunger won't do the job, and unless you are really strapped, I suggest you call a drain cleaning specialist. If you have the option of an independent vs a chain/franchise, you will probably do better. Do tell the person about the draino. Do not use more draino.

UPDATE:

The Liquid Plumr got it!

I have no idea how, but the Liquid Plumr I poured down the shower de-clogged the toilet.

Does that stuff eat through toilet paper?

How could Liquid Plumr eat through toilet paper?

Thanks!
