Have sink, washing machine & dishwasher all connected to the same wastage pipe. Recently been having problems with washing machine when it empties, the pipe fills up and overflows before it can filter away. Yesterday I took apart pipes that I physically could to check for bloackages. The main piece of piping which I couldn't remove had quite a few blockages but I could only loosen them up until a bend, which is beyond reach without ripping out a section of wall. When I run the taps in the sink, 95% of the water would go back towards the washing machine which is why it obviously overflows with the sitting water. Obviously worse case scenario would be having to call out a plumber, but is there something I could hire to feed down the pipes which would navigate the bends up until it reaches a sewer point?
Just to give you a faint idea, from left to right....
...washing machine with pipe end with washing machine waste pipe inserted, approx 12" drop to U-Bend before reaching a straight pipe which runs length of room before bend which I cannot navigate.
Dishwasher with wastage pipe fitting onto a T-joint on the long pipe
Sink with U-bend joining onto pipe at point which splits left and right. Right is exit but it always goes left.
As stated, there is loads of build up in this pipe which needs clearing, but how do i go about this?
Cheers in advance
