I just moved into a stacked condo that was built in 2004. The washing machine is upstairs on the second floor near the full bathroom.
I first noticed that there was water on the ground in the washing machine room. I assumed it was coming from the washing machine, and that maybe the pipes needed to be cleaned out or washers replaced to make the seal tighter on the pipes (this has not been done).
But then I noticed that when the shower in the bathroom is on, water splashes up from the drain in the washing machine room. The toilet does not always flush fully and the sink drains water very slowly. What could it be? Is it a clogged pipe? Are these things all connected or separate issues? Could a clogged pipe effect the washing machine's ability to drain without leaving a leaky mess on the floor?
Please help!
