Posted by admin
Tomato asked:


Every time the washing machine is emptying out water comes up into the kitchen sink. The plumbing is probably original ,50 years old.
Details: City sewer, I already tried the plunge,remove the sink trap
Also, I have a Water Hammer problem (A thump in the piping when hot water is turned on).
Help me PLEASE!

      #1) blockage is between washer and main drain line. Most likely a sock or something small. Stop washing your cat in the machine! run a snake into the drain pipe that the washer drain fits into.
      #2) Let your husband out of the water heater!!! Water pressure is too low.

      air is getting trapped in the drain. you need to vent it better, if it’s vented at all. water hammer is also caused by trapped air in the pipes. you need a plumber.
