I couldn't figure out why it was doing that. Well, last night I was doing some laundry and when the washing machine was dumping it's water, the toilet started to bubble and I saw some of the soapy water from the washing machine come up. I went downstairs and sure enough, the wall was wet again. Is there some kind of backup going on here? I want to try to avoid expensive work if it's something that maybe Drain-o might be able to fix. Any help would be appreciated!

Im not a plumber but i did stay at a holiday in last night
Trace all the pipes, see if their is a leak
On the pipe their are pressure gauges , see if the pressure is very high when you run the washer..... See if its too low.
Usually the gauges can tell you the problem right then and there.
If they are fine, then it is something external, outside of your house, that deals wiht the town.
If all else fails called up the water/sewer department or the town and ask them if everything is fine .
