washer drain line

Hi team, I bought my first house and am pretty new to the workings of general house hold maintenance and repair. I am learning a fair bit, wouldn't say I am bad at it but just green. I paid my inspector 600$ (March 2021) and he gave me a full report of my house, it looked good other than a few...

This problem has been plaguing me for years, mostly due to lack of knowledge. It's a one story 30+ year old house with a combination of steel, copper and PVC pipes. The laundry washing machine is in the same room as the kitchen. If I turn the sink on, the water will go down indefinitely, if I...
