In the guest bathroom, when I tried plunging the toilet, I sometimes heard sounds from the bathtub. Possibly there is a clog in the drain below the intersection of the toilet drain and bathtub drain. | |

So you're overdue and you really don't know how long it's been. If you can locate the cover to the tank, remove it and see the level of sewage in the tank has risen above the inlet from the house. If so, then you need to get a septic crew out there right away. | |
