Most times when I run the washing machine, water backs up into the laundry room. We have septic but no prob.?

Question

We have no other problems with plumbing or septic system, but usually on the 2nd time the washing machine is letting out the dirty water into the pipe....boom water is spitting back out. I have to stay in laundry room and keep shuting off machine and turning it back on after I take flash light and look down drain to see water is lower! what a pain. Any Help out there? thanks

Answer 1

I've just recently had this happen too. There were two problems. First, it wasn't vented properly so it was like holding a straw with your finger over the top and wouldn't drain. Second, I had a lot of lint and junk in the line which had to be augered out. I ended up getting a lint trap to prevent this from happening again.

Answer 2

We have septic but no prob.? Is that a question or a statement?

Really does not make any difference, look in the yellow pages, find a Company that pumps Septic Tanks, and the intake line, as well as the lateral lines.

This will cure your problem, or he will be able to tell you the reason.

Answer 3

If you are sure that your septic tank is not yet full, for sure it doesn't have an air vent or doesn't have enough air vent. Having no enough air vent will cause a vacuum pressure that causes your drain water to back flow.

Make a hole in your septic tank and put 2 inches diameter pipe vertically about 3 meters in length as your air vent and your problem will be solved.

If you have enough air vent and your drain line from washing machine is block it will not create any pressure that causes to back flow. In this case water will just become stagnant (not moving).

Answer 4

except you aren't any further making it sparkling, it would not sound like your outfits smell, it feels like the laundry room itself smells. The source of that difficulty will be a blockage on your sewer line. it would want to diminish back up till you wash the first time so that you smell it, notwithstanding it would want to be cleared the second one time so it does no longer smell. regrettably, a thanks to figure this out might want to be to run a digicam down your sewer line. Your community Rotorooter or equivalent human beings might want to be able to attempt this, notwithstanding it is going to cost you about $2 hundred. call them and word what they imagine.

Answer 5

I HAVE to say this: water is "static" when it's not moving. Stagnant water is water that has pooled,and become contaminated with something

Answer 6

blockage in drainage
