This can be a major problem. Its possible the pipe is cracked or dropped in the area of the blockage. You may need a plumber that can run a sewer/drain inspection camera to see what the problem is. Sorry for the bad news.
Yes, definitely have a reputable plumber camera and locate the line.
We had this in an older home, it was tree roots. Like suggested get a plumber with a camera and then you can decide how much you want to spend
I thought there may be an obstruction but ever hopeful. Thanks for your help
Thank you
Have someone inspect your drains with a camera and give you a report!
You could of course use a large Plumbers Plunger.
Hello Jan, hope this helps you out.
Get a plumber with a camera in, chances are there is a problem with root intrusion in your pipe or there could be a collapse, either way they can clear the issue for you and help with a solution.

The most common cause of a main sewer line backup is a blockage. Food particles, hair, and other solid materials can build up inside drain pipes until the clog becomes big enough to obstruct the flow of wastewater. At this point, the water has no choice but to back up into your toilet or bathtub.
