Once a week I am visiting customers due to their washing machine backing up and flooding part of the house. Your washing machine drain overflowing can be influenced by any of the following:
? Clogged Drains ? Most washing machines are located near the kitchen and over time grease build-up collects on the inside of your sewer pipe reducing the overall pipe size ? Venting ? The venting requirements have increased over the years to allow for the increase speed and volume flow rate put out by newer washing machines. ? Soap Suds ? Using too much soap may cause suds/bubbles. ? Belly ? Sewer lines may have a belly. By code drains are to slope 1/8? fall per foot. ? Roots ? tree roots are notorious for penetrating sewer lines. ? Cave-ins ? shifts in the ground can put stress on drains eventually cracking the pipe.
