This sounds like a good idea, get the system looked at first.
Another problem, is if your clothes washer does not have a lint trap, you need to use those metal mesh socks which attach to the gray water line in the slop sing. . I had a back up due to a lint build up Had to have the main sewer line in the house cleaned to the clean out to the yard. Also ask your plumber about installing a safety valve to prevent sewage backing up into the house.

The lint trap thing is a good point. My washer drains into a deep sink which does have a rubber filter/stopper on the drain, but not an especially good one, and it clogs fast. I bet I can find one at Ace that’s easier to clean. Any recommendations?

Something like this which you attach to the drain line with a zip tie

I buy a case of those metal mesh tubes which go over the Washer drain water hose in the slop sing. Each one lasts for about 4 loads.
