Is there plumber in the house?

Ok wtf. I finish dinner and I put a little bit of corn down the garbage disposial when I cleaned my plate. I ran the dishwasher and then I went downstairs to find that the corn from before was coming out of the tube that the washing machine dumps into. (a 2" diamater and 3' long.) So I get home from work today and I take a shower and went downstaris again to find that the same pipe backed up.

I ran out to home depot and bought a 25' snake and ran the whole line through the backed up pipe and only came out with a little bit of hair (smelled of shit lol) and it still does it. any ideas?

See, the thing with corn is; no system know to man can digest it. Nothing. Person. Animal. Other plants. Hell, even machines. Its just one of those things man...

Have ya tried Liquid Plumber or someting of that nature?

Is the trap(elbow) under the sink clogged? How about the line to the washing machine?

Its coming out of the pipe that the washing machine drains to. I will have to try the chems I guess. it has nothing to do with the traps upstairs. they are clear because the water would be backed up stairs. but it goes down the drain and comes out of the pipe downstairs. I had to put the washing machine tube in the sump pump. the drain tube does drain but its rael slow.

You have a big hole in one of the pipes... You have to find it, and replace that pipe.

We just redid the entire upstairs bathroom plumbing in my house, so I learned a few things.

Got Pics?

It turns out that the garbage disposal(or sink kitchen) was clogged. I still dont get it tho. If a pipe is clogged upstaris wouldnt the nearest sink or drain backup instead of sending a rush of water downstairs?

Whether or not it's clogged shouldn't make a difference if it was leaking.

Is it still leaking?
