Why would both toilets in the house be overflowing when flushed?

The drain pipe has a blockage somewhere downstream from where the toilets are connected to the main sewer line from the house. All the drains in a house normally connect to one main line that either goes to the city sewer system or your septic tank. 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. Good Luck

Sewer smell in the basement when it rains?

Could be caused by a couple of things. If you have an onsite septic system (tank and drain field) the tank may be full, and the rainwater is causing it's contents to backup the main drain back in to the house. A vent pipe could be plugged, which causes the sewer gas to back up. If you are hooked to a public sewer, there may be a blockage in the main drain out to the line in the street. Have a plumbing contractor check it out. It can be very dangerous.
