ok, let me preface this with a few facts.
house was built in '46
plumbing diagram of entire house is included
i do not want (at this time) to replumb the entire house
my problems:
1. our newer washer has always been on the verge of overflowing the standpipe (see diagram) and it is progressively getting worse. it now backs up into the double utility sink.
2. i have the floor drain in the basement plugged b/c the washer will back up out of the drain if it is open.
i am hoping someone has an ingenius solution OTHER THAN:
1. install large capacity utility sink next to washer and have washer drain into it, with the sink drain moderating flow
2. cutting out the floor and getting incredibly sweaty and dirty replacing that undersized line in the floor and reconnecting to the main line (this is borderline above what i want to tackle...)
