Dry Well Backing Up

(Q) I have a dry well that my washing machine and bath tub drain into. My problem is that whenever it rains or when the ground is saturated from melting snow, the washer will back up into my bath tub. What could be causing this and what are possible solutions?

(A) Unless your dry well is completly full there should not be a back up or it is caused by a line blockage to the dry well. If the dry well fills and drains slowly, you may need a second dry well with an overflow connection from the first well.
