Help please! Water coming from all places in my house. Don't know what to do.?

First, it looks like the toilet waste came up from the bathtub drain. So now our bathtub has about two inches of water from the drain and it looks like toilet water. Then we found water leaking from underneath the washer. So it prompted us to look all over our house. Our sinks are fine, but we found that there is about an inch of water in our dishwasher!

All these events happened back to back and suddenly, so they could possibly be related. I don't know if this has happened to anyone before, but I've never heard/seen this before so I have no idea what is going on. Any advice?

    if you have a septic tank it needs to be pumped out, like now.

    The line running out of your house and to the city sewer is probably clogged, so if you have a snake you might want to use it. May not be long enough though, you'll probably need to call a plumber. When ours backed up we went to Harbor Freight and got an electric drain cleanout thing- basically a big, long snake. Cost about as much to get that as to call a plumber, and we'll never have to call a plumber now.

    your sewer line that runs to your cities sewer line has a clog in it......you could go outside to your main sewer connection open it up and run a plumbers type snake (long metal coil) through to the end...( you could rent one for 25-50$ ) it's a dirty job to do ....if you don't want to do it call a plumber...it should cost you under $100 to have it snaked call around different plumbers and get an estimation for them to come out

    no city sewer.....then you have your own septic tank and you need to get it pumped out
