hi, my problem started with an upstairs toilet backing up into the shower tray.
The pan will empty eventually, in about 5 seconds.
i checked the manholes and have found that the lowest manhole (i guess the one nearest the sewer) has about 9 inches of water in it.
When i flush the offending toilet i can see the manhole bubble and then see the water flow into it.
i'm pretty sure the blockage is between said manhole and sewer, but would this blockage cause the problems with drainage from my bathroom?
Also, are drains shared between houses or do houses have separate drains?
The house is 8 years old.
Thanks for your help,
kevin
