: : I have a sears kenmore washer in the basement, when it is first started the washer fills with water does its thing, then when the first spin cycle it expells the water fine then the washer begins to fill up with fresh water the old water comes back into the washer causing an overflow in the washer, however if i put the washer in its spin cycle the water drains with no problem and i dont have a problem with any of the other fixtures in the house just the washing machine, we have a cesspool an sometimes that water leaks back into the the washer but only when the washer is run,
: : we have had a lot of rain in the NY area can this be the cause of the backup?

: This could be one of three things. It sounds like your washer is in the basement and pumps waste water up into the soil line. This basement has no bathroom or slop sink. If so: 1)A full cesspool. 2)A partially clogged soil line. 3)You need a check valve on the discharge line from the washer.
Thanks. Had cesspool co. come today. I have three cesspools and all three were full. Very little waste mostly liquid. They suggested airation as opposed to draining out since there was little waste. Is that a better option than a pump out? The level did go way down when they did it. How long should that last?
Did I have this problem because of all the rain we have had last week? And does the washer come with a check valve and mine is defective or is this something I can add? Thanks in advance..and sorry about the subject title but I couldn't resist, when my daughter came in from school and made that statement..I had to finally laugh :)
