You do have an open (covered with grate) floor drain in the
basement also, correct?

No...there is no floor drain.

Geez, that doesn't sound good, but I'm no plumber. Is the basement
floor finished, possibly covering up the drain? Is the bathroom a
remodel job or was it original from when the house was new?

Update: Basement toilet overflowed this morning and water also backed-
up into shower stall through shower drain - while I was in the middle
of changing the brakes on the wife's car. Figures, doesn't it?

Town workers came and snaked thier section - no luck, not surprised
since it's fairly new PVC.

I used a flat snake with 2" diameter four-side arrow-like head through
the floor level cleanout in the bathroom floor. I managed to push
through an obstruction/clog about 40 feet from the hosue, which would
still be on my side of the town's cleanout.

Too small of a cable cutter will rarely affect anything longterm.
Like someone once said of attempting to pleasure an overly experienced
woman, "it's like throwing a hotdog down a hallway".

Everything is draining but I'm still getting a bit of a gurgle in the
basement toilet. I'm going to cross my fingers and wait until after
Memorial Day to call a plumber and have it snaked with the proper
sized head. No sense paying holiday/emergency rates.

Thanks for all the suggestions.- Hide quoted text -

I agree, BTDT. You'll know when it becomes an emergency.
