flooded bath

[dg20869]

This hasn't been a problem until tonight, when my clotheswasher drains, the bathroom toilet and shower backs up and leaves my floor flooded. PLEASE HELP!!!

There is a blockage in the line after the bathroom toilet and shower. The washer puts a large volume of water down the drain. It has no place to go, so it backs up out the lowest drains in the system.

Since this is a old post, I would assume you have taken the proper precautions, used a drain cleaning machine to remove the obstruction, then sanitize the area where the backup occurred.

Make sure you run a great deal of water once the drains are open.
