    Blockage beyond the washer drain standpipe?

    Update: (short version) Side sewer was cleared (it gets blockage/roots every 5+ years) and that didn’t help Landlord snaking from the standpipe didn’t get far (like me), 4 feet or so. Stacked washer/dryer unit had to (annoyingly) be pulled out a bit to gain access to the pipe going into the...

    Blockage beyond the washer drain standpipe?

    Yes, I'm going to email the "findings" to my landlord tomorrow. I've determined that none of my water usage will cause the standpipe to overflow. I took a shower today and nothing. Let a sink run for awhile and nothing. Yet when enough water is used upstairs it will overflow (like it did...
