    Modified Washering machine drain...still overflows

    The pitch is about 30 degrees, the length of the pipe to main from cleanout is 3 feet. My last resolution before I start breaking concerate is to lower the p-trap another 6" or lower if code allows so that the standpipe becomes larger to about 34-36". The water has more soapy. Thanks,,

    Modified Washering machine drain...still overflows

    The standpipe is 28 inches. The bottom of the p-trap is 12 inches. The washer is a new front loader. The overflow is about a 2-3 cups full. The pipe is 2" that goes to the 4" kitchen main. I snake it out, I put pressure water through it and there was no problem. Thanks,,

    larger then 2" standpipe ?

    I was wondering if making the standpipe larger the 2" will help eliminate overflow. Maybe 3" of 4 " to hold more water. In what I have read in the paste 2 days it appears that the problem with overflow is that to much water is getting pump into the drain. Any feedback ?
