Whether it repeats depends a lot on how your pipes are hooked up. My washer standpipe has been in constant use for 20 years with 0 problems.
Others aren't so lucky. My mother had a mobile home and the shower clogged. I couldn't get a snake more than 12" down it. We finally had to get a plumber. He ended up cutting an access hole in the back of a kitchen cabinet in the next room. The manufacturer had used a vent fitting instead of a drain fitting and it blocked the snake besides filling up with gunk from the shower.
