WASHING MACHINE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS Help, advice and problem solutions on all aspects of home appliances from washing machines to TV's

[euroclydon]

My washing machine drain is backing up and spilling water onto the floor. I have snaked, foamed, and used a bladder. Most of the water goes through, but there is always a backup and spillover. The house is 33 years old and has at least 2" cast iron pipe. When draining, water will rise in our sink which is 8' away from the washer.

HELP :!:

Waste pipe is blocked between the sink and drain, start at the drain end this is usally where all the crap has built up.
