Looks like this isn’t just something that has popped up

I am not a plumber but here is an educated guess . . . I am wondering if will unscrew from the floor. With the outer grey ring being a threading portion of the drain and is part of the drain pipes under the floor. And the inner portion attached to the drainpipe from the washer can be unscrewed by grabbing the two triangular tabs. If one had a special wrench for it or placed a screw driver against the tab and hit it with a hammer in a counterclock direction. If so then you would have a thread pipe can can accept the new drain and you could get pipes and adapter pipes to get it down to the size of the new drain pipe. However before doing this, you might want to some internet search on these type of drain connections. |

It's hidden behind the washing machine in a poorly lit basement. I had to repair my washing machine and when I put the new pump in it, it started overflowing.
Nothing in a 55 year old home just pops up. I'm sure there's plenty of projects lurking. I get roots in the main drain every few years and ended up buying one of those cheap china rooters. It's paid for itself. |

Yeah, I noticed those tabs however there is a plug for a clean out on the front of the drain so I don't believe I can remove the drain. I think it's time to call an expert... A quick search indicates that those tabs are for screws to hold a drain cover in place. I don't think it's going anywhere... |

Here are a few things I found that might help get an idea of the design of the drain, but not necessarily how to utilize the old drain with new piping. a video of cleaning a drain (a good visual), you drain might be like this one, but not sure yet how to attach a new pipe to the old drain hole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaB-WIjzBbs some website with photos and stuff https://www.doityourself.com/forum/p...connected.html http://www.virm.net/basement-floor-d...-floor-drains/ http://www.virm.net/basement-floor-d...rains-diagram/ |

Maybe a home made thing, i am guessing. One hopes that one could get an adapter to either the top of the drain (when the old cover would go) or the hole at the bottom of the drain. Maybe something that could be sealed to the top . . I will take a few more moments and see if i can find anything |

It's not home made, this is how the house was built. The drain is there specifically for the washing machine and connects under the slab to a floor drain about six feet away.
Thanks for looking, I appreciate it. I looked at a few videos about replacing a floor drain, looks like a job for someone with the tools and experience. Might not even have to replace the drain; again I don't have the knowledge of how to fix this thing. |

Its a floor drain..the trap may be clogged...i'd cut the pipe off about 4" from the floor drain and pour some draino in it and hopefully it will clear the trap..if it's clear just run a hose from the washer to the drain. . If it doesn't drain a small section of the floor can be taken out and the drain can be replaced....
