Hello, new to this forum!
I'm having problems with my washer not draining and backing up into the room. If I let the washer run on it's owns, it will backup and overflow. If I listen to the water draining and fill up the standpipe and then turnoff the washer, it doesn't overflow and you can here the water drain all at once. Sounds like it does not have enough air.
I found a photo of the plumbing in the wall before it was covered up.
There is a washer and sink on this branch line with a roof vent above. All plumbing is 1-1/2".
There is also a cleanout on the bottom drain next to the dryer vent where I tried adding a AAV about 5' high to see if that would help but it didn't.
Does the vent tie-in from the sink need to be higher than the washer drain? Also, it appears the tee where the sink vent ties in is installed incorrectly?
Any idea on how to correct the problem?
