    You plugged up your sew line. Call a plumber and get a mop and bucket maybe a shovel too.

    You have a major clog!
    Don’t put that stuff down there. :-)

    Go to Wal mart and spend $20 on a 50′ plumber snake and fish it down the toilet and remove the clog. Save yourself $100 in plumber fees.

    Good answers provided so far. If you can’t handle it yourself, you need a plumber. Coffee filters are not to be flushed down the toilet. Only toilet paper gets flushed. Don’t do it again.

  • mikk says:

    Sewer line clogged.

  • Martha Z says:

    you are going to get a lot worse stuff than coffee filters and butts. whoever is doing that is not too smart. i think your best bet is to call a plumber and get it cleaned out right the first time.

  • rusty says:

    Call a plumber, snake out the main drain. Then dispose of the coffee grounds and filters in the proper way.( trash can)

  • dirtydog says:

    Plugged sewer line.

    Sewers work better (plug less often too!)
    if the only stuff that goes down the drains
    are things out of or off of a human…
