Yes Dale, It is washer water. Yesterday, we tried to wash, and all the water came up, so we were mopping it up, ringing the mop out with a mop bucket and emptying the water back into the sinks that the washing machine drains into. Of course, that water that had already been mopped up off the floor kept coming back up, through the laundry room drain.

Hi Claudia, Are you saying that when you pump water into the laundry sink it doesn't go down? Does it eventually go down? Is the drain below the sink where you are dumping washer water? We'll start there.

Hello, I am a new poster, and I have the following problem and sure could use any ideas, on the subject! Thanks. However, we have a major problem on our hands! We've been having difficulty, when washing clothes lately. When we wash, there is a drain underneath the basins, where the hose from the washing machine empties into! That has been backing up, as of late. So, we called a friend who is a plumber, for one of our neighboring cities, and he came out to try to solve our problem! He ran a machine through the main water line, of course, getting out grass and roots, as there are trees, as part of our property! That line was now clean, and water traveled through that, without any problems. However, when he went to put the machine through the drain right underneath the wash basins, he couldn't get it past eight feet; something is stuck there, and he couldn't get it to go any further! His thought was that we might have to break up the floor, to see why that drain is stuck and possibly replace pipe! I don't know much about plumbing, but this doesn't seem to be sewer water or anything like that; I think the water from our kitchen sinks and bathrooms drains into the main water line, so I'm thinking that that isn't the problem! If any of you know of a handyman list to send this to, please let me know! Thanks.
