    Main drain, laundry room
    My house is on a cement slab, the drain under the washer keeps flooding the room whenever any other water is on, kitchen sink, bath sink, laundry tub, shower, whenever water is on the water comes up from drain under washer. I have tried to flush drain with garden hose, tried to snake it nothing seems to work, what can I possibly do now?

    Are you on city sewer or a septic tank? You have a partial blockage downstream from the floor drain that your snake hasn't reached.
    However, I have something you may be interested in. they are called Flood Guards,(see images) and prevent backup out of floor drains. Check them out at: Flood guards for floor drains - check valve to prevent flooding from FAMOUS PLUMBING SUPPLY
    Good luck, Tom
