Toilets won’t flush, main clean out clear

Author: Kritter (TX)

New member, thanks for adding me.
I live in a 2005 double wide.
3 bathrooms.
From the main sewer clean out there is 2 bathrooms, laundry, kitchen & master bath.
Toilets started backing up when flushed.
Main sewer clean out is clear.
I ran a water hose with a pressure nozzle until it stopped, which I believe is in the area of the 2nd bath to kitchen area. Not sure if it was a blockage that stopped me from going further or a turn in the pipe.
All toilets are backing up, which I don’t understand since I can run the hose as far as I did.
Any suggestions is appreciated & thanks in advance.

Author: bsipps (PA) If you have no or very little water going to the main clean out from the house when fixtures are running you most likely have a clog You need to have your main sewer snaked either from the clean out outside or pull a toilet
