The sound of water splashing in the basement is never good.

UPDATE: clogged laundry sink, which niagara'ed over the side. My basement isn't finished, and the sink isn't far from the drain, so not a lot of wet.

My concern was whether any suds/dirty water had backed up into the new washer or stopped it from draining. Turns out the washer has a "suds detection" function, that adds in an extra rinse when it detects too many suds. I bailed out the sink while the "sd" cycle kicked in, and got the water level down in time for the system to clear out. Otherwise, I just would have rinsed everything again after I cleared the sink.

Sink is now clear and draining.

From previous similar experience...preventative plunging does wonders! Plunge the sink drain vigorously when it is half full of water every month or two...that usually dislodges the loose stuff before it gets a chance to settle and congeal and clog.

I should have done that--I knew the lint was building up.
