Alright being the cheap son a bitch I am I wanted to see if I could diagnose and fix this myself. but being the stoner I am I cant figure out much so this is my last stop. All my toilets,sinks,tubs, are getting clogged and toilets wont flush and will go over...if you do dishes in the kitchen the main tub pretty much right over the main sewer drain fills ups with some SUPER fucking nasty shit it almost looks like shit but I dont think it is just thinks its clogged up dirt but I could be wrong...any suggestions of what to do? If you need anymore details or anything let me know but I know its gonna be an expensive fix and I have basic plumbing knowledge so I would like to at least try to fix it myself before I call a plumber like I said im a cheap bastard! thanks to all responds!

p.s. also someone told me it could be a clogged soil stack you know on the roof to let the gas out or w/e but I really dont think thats it.....

chop the pipe and put in a Y with a threaded cap in one of the legs of the crotch. this is referred to as a "cleanout assembly"

more than likely your problem is roots. unless someone has driven across the yard recently and crushed the pipe.
this is how they grow into the pipe. it is less common in plastic but still possible.

There is most likly a clean out in the house already.
Find it and get the snake going ware some rubber gloves, even being your own waste it's gonna stink, and not in a good way.
If you have roots in the line get a electric snake you'll need it.
If all eles fails get a plumer..

Go in the crawlspace and have someone run water at different points in the house. Its easy to hear when you have good waterflow. You may find a turn or bend in the line where water is stopping. Be cautious in opening cleanout plugs in crawlspaces. If water is backed up to the cleanout, you'll get a free shower for sure.

Stupid maple tree in the front yard errrr. Soon we got the pipe clean the toilets actually get the freakin tornado effect goin when you flush....pretty sweet! I can actually do a load of dishes without to freakin tub fillin up!!! going to add +rep to everyone who helped Thank a sht ton guys you saved me alot of money and I guarentee the plumber wouldnt have fit in the crawl space *I barely did* and would prolly have cut a whole in the floor!
