Plumbing Woes

Last weekend, the commode was leaking. I shut the water off, used the other bathroom, and was able to have a plumber come out. They found roots in the sewer line, and cleaned it out. I was really glad that I did not have other back ups. In the past, I had sewage back up in the shower!  And the bath tub, but I rarely use the bath tub.

Also, in the past, I was alerted to drainage problems because when the washing machine drained, it over-flowed onto the floor in the kitchen. 

Well, today, when I did laundry, the washing machine over-flowed when it drained.  Into the kitchen, and into the garage. 

As I was cleaning up the mess, I was going to put some wet stuff into the bath tub.  I discovered that there had been a drain back up, dried now, in the tub.

I plann to go to a laundromat tomorrow to do my washing, but the dryer is available.  I will call the plumber and get them back out here to root out the drain for the washing machine.  I understand how this works.  And it is not the plumbers' fault they did not discover this.  But it is an inconvenience and a hassle.
