Our washing machine drains into a laundry tub in the basement of our 25-year-old home. We live near a river and our yard stays pretty wet and doesn't drain well (we just moved in and will address that in the spring). Here in the midwest, we just went from over a foot of snow on the ground to rain and temperatures in the 50s and back to cold again. Lots of run off and then freezing.
Coinciding with all that, our laundry tub isn't draining. It tees into a drain line that goes down into the concrete basement floor. Last night, we did a load of laundry. Both bays of the tub filled nearly to the top but then started to slowly go down. Oddly, this morning, the floor was wet with sudsy water. Did the drain line back up over night? Is the line frozen somewhere? What do you think is probably causing this and what should we do about it? Thanks.
