Plumbing Problem

[Anonymous No.2622867]

Alright so sometimes when I run my washing machine it backs up into my sink and both the sink and the washing machine drain don't end up draining for several minutes or hours. The other drains in my house like the bathtubs, bathroom sinks, and toilets are all running perfectly normally.

Based on what I describe, how do I go about fixing this?

not hard at all if you can get boots on the ground and do the work

Forgot to mention I'm talking about the kitchen sink.

Obviously the sink and washer drain into the same pipe and it's got a blockage. Get a snake that attaches to a cordless drill. Get under the sink and remove the trap. Run the snake down the open pipe until you clear the blockage. Put the trap back together and test it.
BTW you're going to be tempted to try a bunch of other dumb shit to unclog it without having to snake it. Let me just warn you - "clog destroyers" like Drano or Liquid Plumber don't do shit. Plungers won't clear it either. It's not the sink trap.

you really want to get something like pic related, but otherwise I agree 100%
