You have a blockage in your sewer system.. When your washing machine or dishwasher discharges the water is pumped thru the pipes and if anything is blocking the flow it isgoing to go in the path of the least resistance. Bath tub, sink, floor drain in the garage,, whatever is easier... Well it is either, hire a plumber, rent a sewer machine , get a friend and dig up the pipe or tile...It is a smelly job.. Good Luck !!!Plumbing problem; after bathing or after washer empties water backs up in toilet and other drains. ?
it sounds very much like you have a partially plugged drain you may be able to rent a plumbing snake to do it yourself as a cost saving rental center will give instructions will be much cheaper than hiring a plumber hope this helps
Your septic tank is full. Go to Home Depot and buy a box of ZEP drain cleaner and flush it down. Its an enzyme that eats sh_t and makes the water level go down. Try it. It only costs about 4.00.





good luck
sounds like a root problem in exterior plumbing main ,real common in spring and fall of year most generally from maple tree roots ,u could call a plumber would probably be around $300
