: I have a basement bath which works great by itself. Problem is that the washing machine on the first floor sucks the traps dry when it pumps out. Is there a device that I can place in the washer drain line to prevent this, or should I rework the vent system? Sounds like the bathroom downstairs isn't vented or the vent is clogged. Is this a recent problem, was the bathroom added on? Need more info.
