My wife and I did some remodeling and created a new laundry room on the
first floor. We decieded to have a washing machine tray (bought at
Lowe's) put in.

The washer sits in the tray just fine; however, whenever we run the
washer, we noticed water sitting in the tray afterwards. We had the
washer checked out, and the repair man stated that water was coming up
from the drain. Basically, when the washer empties the water, some of the
water backs up into the tray from the drain. The plumber who put it in
states that there is nothing he can do about it.

Supposedly he put in an offset 'y' connector, and the water should not be
coming back up.

Is there an easy fix to this problem, or do we need to cut up the floor
and have the plumbing re-done??

Any information would be helpful...
