Toilet backing up into the shower in a 1970s house?

What causes it in Rural Hall

About 53% of Rural Hall homes were built from 1960 to 1979. Lines that age often have root intrusion at the joints or a belly where water sits.

What you can do right now

Try a closet auger on the toilet. If the shower still fills, the blockage is in the main line and needs a cable from the cleanout.

What to Do While You Wait in Rural Hall

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

  • Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
  • Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
  • If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
  • Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
