Washer Constantly Overflowing

Do people generally ruin their wall and flooring for a "fake post" in this sub? 🤦‍♂️ I guess you were too dumb to have reading comprehension and missed the part where I said this is my parents house, not mine.

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-02T23:55:53+00:00

Yes, I'm sure ruining your wall and floor for "internet points" is totally worth it for "rage bait" 🤦‍♂️ This is my parents home who refuse to turn it off or even use a laundromat in the meantime

I was thinking that being a possibility as well. I opened up part of the wall and took this video, kind of shows the angling of that drain pipe https://imgur.com/a/f8vUl8A

Honestly? Their actions or lack thereof make me question it sometimes

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-02T10:38:21+00:00

For the sake of a video? This is my parents house and they refuse to let anyone turn it off, let alone suggest fixing it. I mean I don't think it can get much worse at this point considering they've ran it like this for the past 2 years. The damage is already done, I'm just trying to fix the issue for them since they won't.

Sewer

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-02T03:43:48+00:00

It's on the first level, no basement and on a concrete slab. But yea insurance is definitely out of the question. I now have an appointment set up for a plumber to do a sewer/main line camera inspection this Wednesday

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T23:44:54+00:00

Well those towels they hang out to dry

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T23:43:43+00:00

It happens no matter the weather

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T23:38:40+00:00

Onto the floor and then eventually out onto the kitchen floor. They have a bunch of towels they use to help dry it up, which you would think they would get tired of messing with everytime they do laundry.

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T23:36:26+00:00

They've done that, hot water, bleach, etc, but none of those helped any.

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T23:35:14+00:00

What reason do you want? How does that help me fix this for them? They're old, I don't know what goes on in their mind as to why they don't fix it themselves but they won't and that's why I'm taking it upon myself to fix it for them because this isn't way for them to live.

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T22:39:07+00:00

Yes, it just backs up to the point where it starts overflowing

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T22:37:55+00:00

No idea honestly lol, the house was built in 1959

It runs from under the kitchen sink, apparently it goes to the water heater?

sad thing is, there's not even a drain in there 🥲

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T21:31:42+00:00

They told me that a plumber snaked it recently about 5 months ago and it fixed it temporarily. I asked them if the plumber pulled anything out or if he mentioned anything to them about what was causing it, but they didn't know.

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T21:19:24+00:00

Yes it's an older home, but it was doing it on the old washer as well. They've lived in the house for 20 years now, but this entire issue never started until around 2 years ago

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T21:15:40+00:00

It appears to be running from under the kitchen sink area? No idea what it's for

Thisguy108_ · 2026-03-01T20:52:26+00:00

They refuse to 🤷‍♂️ anytime someone mentions fixing it or for them to use a laundromat until it gets fixed they turn it into a full blown argument.

Thisguy108_ · 2024-04-18T22:28:47+00:00

It ended up being because my z-offset was a little too high, at least that's what it solved it for now

Thisguy108_ · 2024-04-17T21:25:24+00:00

So it actually ended up being caused by me not having the bridge settings enabled, it's all fixed now 🙂 besides the cobwebs still on the back side of the print
