    Hi Vinnie,

    Only way to really tell is to open the wall, but for now you can wait for the water to dry and then run another load of laundry. If wettness shows up again, you know you'll need to open the wall and see what is happening behind it.

    Good luck!

    I'd love to help but need you to better explain what you mean by "Washing machine was overflowing " Also this could ne described better too "I snaked stop overflow" Did the water come out the top of the machine or did the drain pipe over flow at the stand pipe? Any over flow will put water on the floor so we need to take it step by step to figure out your issue

Hello, My washing machine discharge is backing up a little bit. It's not the water itself but it is the soap. We're using just a tiny bit of soap at a time so it can't be too much soap. The discharge hose runs from washer, to almost the floor, into a 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe that is linked to the...
