is it normal to hear washing machine water draining in bath tub?

Question

is the drain connected to the same pipe or what?>

oh no, I am just hearing the drain sound. Thank GOD it isnt draining into tub!

yes, it is about 15-20' feet away.....is this normal for plumbers to install same drain pipe in this matter or were they just being lazy?

Answer 1

the drain can't consume as much water as your washer is pushing out and it backs up into other drains it's commen and no problem it acually backwashes your tub drain and helps keep it clean

Answer 2

If you can hear the washing machine drain in the bathtub then your pipe from the drain from the washing machine is connected to the drain to the tub.

Answer 3

All your drain lines are connected together, so it's normal. It's NOT OK if the washing machine drain water suddenly appears in your bath tub, though.

Answer 4

If the washer water is draining into the tub..you have a problem.

Is your bathroom near your laundry????

If you just hear it through the pipes,you drains a proably connecected.

If your really concerned get a plumber....preferibly one with a nice crack...LOL

Answer 5

its normal since the tub drain has no trap.it dumps straight into the drain and self vents below the spout( to prevent over filling.) it obviously uses the same main line(eventually all your drains come together into one) and is close enough to hear the flow.its not a bad thing. its just a safe thing.

Answer 6

Yes,nothing wrong about it, just it connected in the same pipes.

Answer 7

It has to be really close to the tub if you can hear it.
Is it?

Answer 8

yeah probly

also, they use cheap PVC pipes these days so more noise
