Drain for Laundry Machine Sprays Water!?

Question

Pls Help. When my laundry machine begins the rinse cycle, and starts draining, the waist water shoots out of the top of the drain pipe sticking out of the wall. Its like the drain pipe can't take the waist water away fast enough so it spills out the the top. Has anyone else had this problem?

Answer 1

Most likely it's accumulated lint and fibers in the drain pipe. You (or a plumber) will need to run a snake down the pipe to clean it out. Do NOT use any kind of chemical cleaner on a washer drain.

Answer 2

The drainage pipe has a block. Be aware that this might be a smelly job but ---- take the pipe to bits (often they are just pushed together) and flush it through with clean water, (you may have to use the bath or shower fitting to get the pipe under). If you use washing soda crystals with each wash, they will soften the water and help prevent limescale building up.

Answer 3

You have a blockage in the waste pipe and as you say the water cannot get away quickly enough for the rate of flow from the machine.

Answer 4

You may have a clog of hair in there, it happens just like a shower drain or sink. You may need a long sturdy wire to run down it and see if you can get the clog out.. if not call the plumber.

Answer 5

find the other end of your waste pipe check to see if it's covered - blocked if not I've found the best thing to use is a lengh of old curtain wire to shove up the pipe first then down if it works have a look at sludge coming out as you might be using to much washing powder

Answer 6

Yep, you'll need to get that drain snaked. sounds like a clog to me.
