My shower drain was running slow during a shower, and when i stepped out i realized that the toilet was leaking from the bottom -screw under cap on left side. i am at a loss and do not even know where to start. i put a bottle of draino in each hole and the shower water went down fine, the toilet water is going down but very slow and when i plunge it poors from the bottom. the clog does not seem to be in the toilet but somewhere past.. in the floor, in a main drain..? what would eat whatever is down there? where could the problem be? should water be able to come up from underneath?

Go outto wear the pipe runs out of the house and see if you notice the ground sinking or if the ground is staying moist, if not , take up the toilet, the bak of the tank first, sit it off in the tub to get it out of the way of work, and start by running snake down in the hole where th toilet sat, run the snake in and keep turning it till you hit the clog, if you hit the clogtry to bring it out, if not run it back as far as it will go, hope that works, then clean off the bottom of the toiletgood put a NEW wax ring on it, set the toilet back over the hole applying a little presure on the seat, put NEW flanges on both sides of toilet that bolts it to the floor and barley tighten it down, not to tight ( tiolet will crack ) put your tank and boot back on, reconnect your water line, turn on your valve and hope nothing leaks, as far as your tub draining slow, look undernthe house and see if there is any leaks in the drain lines area. If not open a pipe at a joint and run the snake in it and see if u feel anything in the drain line and back it out, if nothing there, run it in the other end.
