I have a drain pipe that goes into the cement slab I'm on. I just notice that water is coming through the dirty around the pipe in the slab. This is only happening when the washer drains. Is this big problem?? What can be done to fix the problem?? Please help I need to clean clothes LOL??

Yes it is a problem, actually several problems all coming together. First it sounds like the main drain is backing up and needs to be snaked or rodded out. The second problem is that the connect of your stand pipe and the main drain also leaks, that's how you see water on the soil. "thru the dirty around the pipe in the slab" I am a bit confues with your statement. Is the floor soild concrete or is it soil? In any case you need to dig down to the connection of the stand pipe and the main. Do you have a clean oit any where so you can snake the drain pipe.
