Plumbing advice required
The hose that empties the water from my washing machine, is loosely fitted into a vertical drain coming out of the wall about 24" above the floor. Not always, but often enough, the drainage water sometimes overflows the drain pipe and goes all over the floor. I don't even know where to start, other than calling a plumber to take a peek at it, which I would rather not do at this point...$$$). My thoughts are that the water empties faster than the drain can take it away (maybe a machine issue) or there is no vent stack or there is something plugging the drain somewhere on it's route. Does anybody have any experience with this sort of problem or any recommendations to a great plumber if I can't figure it out on my own?
