Plumber here. The shower liner looks like it’s not installed correctly.

Correct. When there is a blockage, the toilet will not flush correctly.

If so, the issue may just be the low flow toilets these days. When the cast iron drains were installed, toilets were 3+ gallons per flush. So there was a lot more water per flush. Are your toilets low flow? Modern toilets are limited by law up to 1.6 gallons per flush.

I assume your house is older and the drain within the foundation is possibly cast iron?

Legally it’s supposed to be permitted and inspected. At least in my jurisdiction. So things don’t leak.
