I have a problem that I have been fighting for a few years now and I am looking for any advice I can get.
On the kitchen side of my house is where my laundry room is located. The drain from the washer backs-up every few months to the point that we had to stop the washer during the draining cycle to allow the water to run out before continuing. The washer drain y’s in with the kitchen sink to go to the main drain in the center of the house (slab floors).
I have snaked it regularly, to the point I bought my own power drain cleaner so I could quit renting them. It would help for awhile, then start all over again. I have had it scoped, and have been told that there is nothing wrong with the pipes. I have tried using chemical drain cleaners and (on the recommendation of the last plumber I had) allowed bleach to sit overnight in the pipes before rinsing down the next day.
NOTHING HAS WORKED!!!! Any suggestions, comments, Prozac to offer???!?
Thanks ahead of time for any and all who respond.
