We have two toilets at home. One doesn't flush well (does this gurgling/bubbling thing) and one used to work. The city flooded for a couple of days and now neither toilets work. The water still "drains", no actual flushing, just sits in bowl. It goes down VERY slowly.
We have recently (two weeks ago) cleaned the vent. Today, we asked a plumber to come in with a snake to clean the drain, there were bits of trees roots? He wasn't able to fully unclog the drain, says the machine is striking something that can't be pulled out. We have replaced the wax ring as well.
Yesterday, while doing laundry and washing dishes, there were resurgences of water from the shower drain.
We have no idea where to go from here. Please help! Any experiences welcomed and appreciated.

Get a plumber
It sounds like the flooding may have caused your sewer lateral to collapse in on itself, blocking all the drains in the house from ever reaching the city sewer system. Sadly, this is something that generally requires a professional to fix, and is also quite expensive to repair.
