KnarlyCarl Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I tried deleting some old pics but it still won't let me upload [emoji20] I'm gonna keep trying... Upload to pic sharing website like Kato wrote about. You're welcome. They both have free accounts, at least I think Flickr still does. Photobucket does hurt image quality a little bit, Flickr was designed for photos so that's a better site to use. Either way it's a good way to keep photos online for use on forums and whatnot... Now that I'm home and not on the phone, I can elaborate on my previous post. For Photobucket, if you're on one of your library pages, you can select the IMG code under the photo. If you're on the photo page, you can select the IMG code at the right... For Flickr, you have to be on the photo page, then click the curved arrow. When you click the arrow a pop-up will show, it has options for grabbing the different types of code. You want the BBCode. Select the size you want to display, which for forums 1024 on the long side displays a nice-sized image... If you use sites like Photobucket, Flickr, etc., you simply copy the codes and paste them into your post. With Photobucket you copy the IMG code, with Flickr you click the curved arrow on the photo page, then copy the BBCode and paste it into the post.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Thanks It feels good to have invested a lil money to out home but Dude Carl I'm beat bro with doing both rooms and still working both jobs I can say I'm f$#*ing beat lol!! But yea bro I have to do something with my garage big time, really need to get it back into shape but guess what? my washer drain that goes into the wall is flowing back out again and the washer and dryer are in hallway next to both rooms that we just put the floors in so I'm gonna call off my second job and come home to try and resolve that problem.. I swear if it ain't one thing it's another...... I'll let u guys know how it goes 2marrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Aw crap no way man! I just was at a place with that problem, but I was able to snake through their kitchen drain and clear it, because the two are fairly close together and it must run together at some point and the blockage was beyond that point. I took the snake up on the roof and went thru the vent that served the washer drain, but ran out of length on the snake. Luckily I was able to get it thru the kitchen drain. It didn't help that the house is on a slab and no cleanout! You say it's flowing back out again? As in it was doing it before? Definitely don't want it flooding your new floors!

The other weird thing is I have 2 clean outs one by my front door and by the side of my garage so im gonna try those out hopefully cus I really don't want to rip out the drywall behind the washer and dryer......

There are several houses I know of that have two cleanouts so that's not uncommon. How long does it take for water to start backing up once the pump on the washing machine kicks on? 2 seconds or 20 seconds or. ...? Also do you know what material your drains are made of? What does the cleanout pipe look like? Cast iron or like terra cotta clay, or plastic? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 buddy of mine had drain problems for years, turned out to be a tree root growing into the pipes, thing was the tree was on city property but the root was on his property ....he had to flip the bill........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomdog22 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 excellent work on the floors, hope the plumbing goes smoothly. I had a similar problem with backed up drain pipes, and it turned out to be tree roots in the 6" main to the street. maybe consider having a plumber come over and run a camera down there to diagnose the problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh wow, almost looks like the material from cast iron pipe that, the inside of those pipes start deteriorating, chunks of rust break off and work their way in certain spots, start backing up the whole system. Then eventually, the pipe itself just ..... becomes nothing, a shell of its former self Were you able to pull it out of there? Or break it up and flush it out?
