We have two bathrooms with just a wall separating them. Both toilets are plugged and can't be flushed but all other drains work fine. I assume there is a plug in the pipe shared by both toilets before it gets to the main drain line. Looking for the best/easiest way to clear this. Would rather avoid going under the house to pull apart pipes full of yuck. Have tried plunging both bowls to no effect.

Use a telescoping toilet auger, like the Ridgid K6.

The other unpleasant method is a shop vac and pulling a stool to auger through the stool hub.

Did you try snaking them? I was so lucky when my toilet stopped up that the snake worked. Our next try was going to be crystal heat to disolve the muck, but my husband said that the only other way was to cut the pipe if that didn't work. Ugh. I was NOT wanting to take on THAT. Good luck!
