Washer flooded basement

[joenali]

Ughhh! Water everywhere. It's all cleaned up. We ran over to the neighbor's to borrow a wet/dry vac and now have fans running down there. Thankfully the basement is not carpeted, just cement floors.

We think the washer drain might be clogged. I don't even know where the drain is on the washer. Is this something we can hopefully fix on our own or should we call someone?

I'm guessing that the washer is "direct plumbed" into a spot in the wall and doesn't drain into a utility sink?

You might need to have a plumber come snake out your drain. This happened to the guy who bought our old house ( an aquaitence, and I think he was fishing for us to pay for it even though is was more than a year after he bought) and when they snaked it was full of lint. It had the direct plumb set up for close to 4 years at that point, previously, it had drained into a utility tub with one of those sock thingies on the end of the hose.
