Best Answer

Drain is getting plugged or the sewer line is plugged or collapsing. You can try giving it a good plunging or take a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour it into the bowl just as fast as it will take it. This is a much larger volume of water than normal and will sometimes flush out the line.
