That’s the first thing I thought but the screw on the bottom was to set the pipe on and the other was to hold it. The poster said the screw was caulked and the screw head is tight to the pipe ( no space where the drywall was).

Reply from NYC retired master lic. Plumber.

1. have your plumber send a camera down the house drain
2. make sure it's not the main house main sanitary drain
3. make sure you not using a lot of Landry soap
4 make sure their is a check valve on your sanitary main house drain by running all your plumbing fixtures individually and all at a time at once. e-mail me at 631-667-2726

What happens (with no washing machine draining) when you flush the toilet or drain water out of the tub in the guest bath. If the tub drains rapidly then you likely don’t have a vent issue

Water back up through drain
 
Our master shower was not draining properly. We called a plumber whose camera revealed a piece of wood was blocking the drain pipe under the cement floor. The villages has a 10 year structural warranty and they came and removed the floor, saw that a wooden stake had been driven through the drain pipe during construction. They fixed and replaced the floor and tile. What a mess

I was going to suggest that. It’s a little vent that usually goes up to the roof and lets air in or out when there is sudden pressure or suction in the drain lives. If that’s it, it doesn’t actually let grey water or sewage flow backward into the toilet. That would be a line blockage. And it doesn’t really hurt anything. There are various reasons why that vent could be blocked, such as a wasp nest in the pipe at roof level.

Had the same problem at my home in Fenney, both us and our neighbor. Called Water Dept. on two different occasions and the second time they used a camera and had to dig down near the street and fix. Been okay since then. Construction debris. Cost nothing.

Did you buy home warranty when you purchased? You may have recourse with the home Inspection service. Roto Rooter gives sixmonth warranty. If it is a clog it's probably upstream from the outside clean out. They should take up the toilets and snake from there, or run a camera from the washing machine drain. Good luck

The drywaller likely did that. Plumber was long gone when the drywall went up.

The monthly bill we receive for the sewer, water and amenities fee actually recommends BEFORE calling a plumber about a clog or back up- to call them first.

Thank you for the number!!

note to self: Don't call Mike Scott Plumbing.

Call the water company.
 
Definitely call the water company. This happened to us a few years ago and the problem was tree roots in the portion of the line that belongs to them. There was no cost to us to fix it and it was a big job. If the problem is in your portion of the plumbing, you’ll have to pay to take care of it. We had called Mike Scott and had to have them back within a month. We paid twice and it never got fixed by them.

QUALITY you can count on

Our main sewage pipe goes under the garage. The pipe has a belly which sewage collects and clogs up. We would fill up sinks and tub and pull the plugs at the same time. The rush of water would push most of the sewage out. Don’t use Kiley. They are cheesy greedy. The agreed upon price was $200 per hour. They went 5 minutes over the second hour. Workmen said there would be no charge for the 5 minutes over the second hour. Kiley charged me $200 for that 5 minutes for a total of $600.
