slow basement drain
 

-------------------------------------

I recently purchased a new washer when it drains I get water backed up on
the floor,it drains,but it drains very slowly. What can I do to solve this
problem?Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, I tried to to snake
the drain but it only went a short distance before it stopped. I do not
have any problems with any of the upstairs drains.

There's your answer. You need to have the drain cleaned. Call your
favorite drain cleaning service. You *might* be able to rent the right
tools, but it's a nasty job.
