    OK Cutie! Ya going to make me guess or do you want to tell me why rhe water "drains from the side of your house" and not into the sewer. I see the word washer in the title bar. Is the washer overflowing the stand pipe? Slab or basement house? City sewer or septic tank? How old is your house?
    Details, Cutie, I need details! Cheers. Tom

    Thanks for the input,
    You have a blockage in the washer drain line. The solution is to rent a sewer machine, such as a Ridgid K-50, and send it down the washer roof vent. Putout enough cable to reach the base abd about 20 feet more. Afterward flush out the line by cycling the washer. Good luck, Tom
