If all the waste from the fixtures in a bathroom backs up into the tub, or water from the clothes washer floods the basement, the trouble probably lies in the main drain and its branches, which channel waste into the sewer. When a clog forms in any part of the major drainage system, all the fixtures above the blockage stop up. When a clog forms in the stack vent, which keeps air flowing through the system, waste drains sluggishly and odors might be noticeable in the house.
Before you start work, track the pipes and connections in your own, perhaps unique, drainage system and try to pinpoint the trouble. If the clog seems to be in a branch drain, you can clean it out with a drain-and-trap auger, working at the fixture closet to the soil stack. In order to make the job easier, you can rent an electrically powered auger up to 50 feet long from a plumbing supply dealer.
Even an electric auger, though, won't work effectively if you push it around too many bends in the pipes. So if the problems seems to be beyond a branch, take the straightest possible route to the clog. To clear the main stack, the vertical pipe to which branches are attached, feed the auger down from the vent on the roof; to clear the basement or below-floor-level drain connected to the bottom of the stack, work through the main clean out or--if you have one--the house trap. When you suspect that the problem is in the sewer line, somewhere between the house and the street, you will most likely need the services of a professional plumber.
In most plumbing repairs speed is essential, but unclogging the main drain calls for patience. The column of water trapped by the blockage may extend above the clean out, and it will gush out, adding to the existing flooding, as soon as the plug is removed. If possible, wait for at least two or three hours after you spot the trouble to permit dispersion of whatever waste can seep past the blockage.
