    Sounds like you might have a blockage somewhere else in your drain line. Maybe time to call in a plumber. Good luck.

    Hopefully a clogged drain, but if not it depends upon what type of waste water system you have. If you are on a septic system it could be any or a combination of the following: you need to have your tank pumped and right now, or have your drain field inspected because it is not draining out, or your pump has failed and needs to be replaced, or your filter is full and needs to be cleaned. Call a septic company. If you have municipal waste water/sewer system you need to call your provider and explain what is going on, they should send someone out immediately. good luck to you

    If you've tried snaking out the drain, using draino, baking soda & vinegar- you def need to call in the pros. you may have a larger clog farther down the line that they need to handle.

    black crap can mean dirt and a busted pipe or roots growing in. Call a plumber and have them video the line..

    Sounds like you have a clog further down the drain pipe. Needs to be rodded out.
