Hey everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I'm having a plumbing nightmare. I just bought this mobile home about 6 months ago. Recently someone pointed out to me that the washer was draining underneath the house. I didn't notice because I barely ever go on that side of the house where the water was draining. Anyways, I looked under the house and found the problem. The last owner had disconnected the pipe under the washer and it was just laying on the floor. So I put the pipe back together and thought that I had fixed the issue. Little did I know that was the beginning of something much worse! Now that the pipe is back together the washing machine drains into the tub and toilet across the hall way, and neither drain. That bathroom was working perfectly before the pipe was reconnected. Also, The pipe that goes from my kitchen sink into the ground is also now leaking, which was not the case before. And lastly, the bathtub is now leaking underneath the home as well, which also did not happen before. I don't know what to do as I don't have a load of money to fix this. Why would reconnecting a pipe cause all of this trouble? Should I go outside and sawzall it to disconnect it once again? I've gotten mixed advice. One person said it sounds like a vent issue, another said it sounds like a clog.
