called a sewer drain guy. pipes leading out of house clear. i snake the
inside pipe, but it was clear. he took out a large CO2 canister and blew
the pipes out from the open pipe (where my toilet was) and we heard this
huge bang and everything drained. it looks like it was the pipe leading
down and eventually out of the house. $75 and it waas cured.

now all i need do is finish patching up the tile; reinstall the toilet and
of course re do all the ceiling insulation and sheetrock in my kitchen.
thanks for all your help

i used a snake and the pipe was clean.

it was suggested to me tonight that the second leak occured because when
we ran the shower, the toilet (in the other bathroom) wasn't installed and
the water came up out of that pipe and flange. my pal suggested that the
pressure of the water in that toilet acts as a stopper. make sense?

my son took a shower in the other bathroom and the water level in the
open
toilet rose and we didn't notice it for 5 minutes, so the water leaked
and
flooded the kitchen. major damage to ceiling. now i'm stumped. i
figured
the pipe was clear. any ideas/help???

If you have a snake, use it.
Otherwise, it might be time to call a plumber.
