Washing machine emptying too fast & flooding kitchen. All pipes thoroughly cleaned etc, by Dynarod.

Sounds like all pipes not thoroughly cleaned. How far did they go?
Are you draining into a stand pipe or the sink, and if the sink, is there a disposer?
Are there any pipes running horizontally that aren't sloping down 1" in 4'?

How tall is the standpipe coming out of the PTRAP and is the drain properly vented?
