    im waiting for a refurbished deal on a drain cleaner attachment for my pressure washer. I read that all other solutions just punch a hole through the clog and just temporarily solve the problem.

    the washing machine waste shouldn't be a issue, it's running up and over the divider walls so it won't glow into the washing machine unless the water level is really high. something i overlooed when I originally posted.

    You don't want a non-return valve in a waste pipe, it will just get clogged up.

    I was done shortly after I posted and it's completely solved the issue for the last 2 years. We had slow drain in the sink for several yers, now I am a bit sad and fill up the sink with dishwater, and pull the plughole and watch the water drain away so fast.
