Find your clean out and open it--rent a power rooter at any equipment place or Home Depot store with a rental department.

There's a number of comments here about your main line being backed up - that is possible - but it is also possible that there is a clog not too far past your bathtub.

This happened to me at my old place. The plumber came in, looked at it for about three seconds, got one of those spinning metal hose things that they stuff down the pipe, proceeded to stuff it down the bathtub drain, did his thing, and in about five minutes had the drain unclogged. He basically charged me the minimum service charge (one hour) because he wasn't there more than 20 minutes.

shite in the tub. That should counteract the flow.

Call the plumber if you're not handy.

Like someone else said, do not run the washer/disher washer.

Got a blockage somewhere.

We had that happen. Thought sure our kid had flushed some hot wheels down the drain but he never buckled under interrogation.

Turned out a root had grown through a pipe in the front yard backing up the water draining. Easy fix.

Apologized to the kid and got him an icee for the trouble.
