Greetings again all...
We had to replace a washing machine here recently, and with the new washer the drain pump seems to be overpowering our drain capacity?
Each time I've run a test cycle (no suds) it has backed up into the kitchen sink, or the rough in box, or both.
I've run the typical draino crap down and had minimal success. I've run a snake down (albeit a 1/4") and come up with nothing. Since I know the previous homeowner was a TERRIBLE diy guy, I decided I better chop open the wall and have a look.
This is what I found.

My question I guess is... where do I go from here? Should I install an AAV someplace? Is this proper? It appears to run into and under the floor (appears to attach to cast iron using one of the worm gear sleeves we all love).
Would love any and all advice.
