Can a washing machine drain clogg up and how would you unclogg one?

Ok
1-I would snake the line first to see if it is a rag caught in this drain

2- If no rag or other HARD stoppage is encountered I would use my TRUSTY JetMax Water Jetter and put it on 3,000 PSI @10 GPM to flush away the possible soft stoppage such as silt/sand and or soap scum build up.

Then I would take my MicroCalif Video inspection camera to

1- Double check my work

2- Check the piping integrity

Then I would put your name in my computer for a yearly follow up as I presented you with my bill for the following

1- Snaking the line $125

2- Water Jetting $225

3- Video inspection $500

plus Tax BUT you would have one great flowing drain.
