Clogged Drain from my Washer--Please help?

I have live in a Condo %26amp; have a stackable Washer %26amp; Dryer. There is a hose from the Washer going into a drain. I have checked the hose, there are no cracks, no holes, the hose is in tact, along with the drainage pipe, also no cracks, no holes. The problem is where the water drains is backing up. What can I do to try and unclog the clog? Short of calling a plumber (which can be really expensive) I'd like to try a few things to see if I can't unclog it. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks!

hi is the outlet pipe long ,. ! your outlet pipe should be like a bend then it goes to your waste pipe . this is not the case please draw a picture of the you clogged drain then i will give you the way who to clear it and keep clear for good
Reply:A common method for unclogging a drain pipe is to use a snake. This is a long, flexible metal strip that you can insert into the drain pipe, force down as far as you can, jiggling it back and forth as you insert it. This may break up whatever is clogging the pipe. you can buy a snake for a few dollars at a hardware or home improvement store. A good one 10 feet or so may cost $ 10 - $ 20 --- lots cheaper than a plumber!





You can also try pouring a product like Liquid Plumber down the drain, but I'd try the snake first.
Reply:I dont know how well it will work but you could try some Drano Foaming pipe cleaner , It will foam out the crap stuck in the pipe in about an hour , $6 at walmart , but it needs to be the foamer.
