Sounds like a plug to me.... I had the same thing happen - I didn't get a plumber in, I just rented a plumbing snake from Home Depot. IIRC, you can rent 2 sizes and it's relatively inexpensive and easy to do. My washing machine drain pipe is right next to my main stack, so I just had to open up the big clean out on the main stack. Send the snake down and you should be good to go... make sure you wear gloves and coveralls.... nasty job - especially when you begin to recoil the snake... Also, make sure you have some help, those plumbing snakes aren't something you can toss around by yourself... Just curious, do you have cast iron plumbing in your house?
