The toilet will usually not flush. A plumber can run a camera down the drain to check. Depending on where you live and how far he goes it will be around $100 or more to check.

A 3 or 4 inch pipe sticking straight up out of the ground? This is the clean out for the sewer line. If sewage is coming out of it, this means the sewer line is clogged or collapsed from there to the main city sewer. If you have a septic tank, the tank is full and needs to be pumped out.
You must find where the pipe is collapsed usually by snake in till you hit the break or uncovering the pipe till you find the break. Cut both ends of the break with a saw or chain cutter so you have a nice smooth end. Install a rubber coupling on both ends slid onto your clay pipe. Measure and cut a replacement piece of pipe to fit between, slide rubber boots over the seams and tighten. Be careful not to over tighten and rebreak the pipe. Sewer lines have little to no pressure so a snug tightening will do. Run water down line and look for a leak. Cover and silt in dirt and you are ready to go.
We televise sewer for many different reason including identifying the following: Broken, cracked or collapsed pipes Blockage Corroded pipes Leaking joints Bellied pipe Root intrusion Off-grade pipe
