When it comes time to drain the water (spin cycle)when I am washing clothes, my toilet leaks from under the bottom, my second bathroom toilet overflows, and waste water comes up through the drain in the bathtub. I have a major mess!!
I cannot use my washing machine now. WHY??

Wow, what a mess, time to call a plumber !

Afaroo,



Where is the main drain?

Clear Main Drains and Sewer Lines
If more than one of your fixtures is sluggish or clogged, or if plunging and augering fail to solve the problem, you may have a clogged drain or sewer line. Look for clean-outs, places where you can remove a large nut and slip in an auger.

Start with the highest clean-out you can find that is below the clogged fixture. If augering it does not work, continue working downward. Sometimes it proves best to go up on the roof and run an auger down through the vent stack. This job often warrants calling in a plumber or a drain-cleaning service, especially if the line is clogged with tree roots.

Caution: Before removing any clean-out plug from a main drain line, have buckets on hand to catch the wastewater, ggod luck.

I responded to you other post, Thanks.

John's telling you to snake the washer drain line because you have a blockage downstream from it. You can get at the washer drain from two places.
1) You can snake the drain from the washer stand pipe and trap **or**
2) you may snake from the washer roof vent.
If you're lucky there may be a cleanout on one of the stacks also. Good luck, Tom
