The effluent pipe is usually an open 1 1/2 or 2 inch black pipe with a p-trap on it. It's usually already in the wall. If it's not, you'll have to run a sewer drain pipe to your service area.

Why do the the washer make the water back up in the sink and tubs and commodes?
When a washer drains, it can cause water to back up in sinks, tubs, and commodes due to a blockage in the plumbing system. This blockage can occur in the drain line or sewer line, preventing wastewater from flowing freely. Additionally, if multiple fixtures share the same drain line, the increased volume of water from the washer can overwhelm the system, leading to backups. It's essential to check for clogs and ensure proper venting in the plumbing to prevent these issues.
