The drain pipe has a blockage somewhere downstream from where the toilets are connected to the main sewer line from the house.

If you know where the sewer line exits the house, you could check there to see if the blockage is in the yard. Most sewer blockages are caused by tree roots, broken fittings, or crushed pipes.

What is the best way to install flooring over the main drain in a basement?
Firstly check with the Water Authority/Local Authority that the drain is not a sewer shown on the map of sewers. If it is in fact a drain it should only serve one property, however. If it is no then it might be a private sewer that serves more than one property. If it only serves one property it is a drain and in this case and in the case of it being a private sewer it will need to be protected against damage from floor loads. I suggest you ask the advice of your Building Control Deapartment at your local Council as bot both protective measure and accessibility measures may be required.
