Why Your Washing Machine Drain is Backing Up​

If your washer’s not emptying, it’s usually a sign of a drainage problem, not a broken machine.

Here’s what’s causing your washer drain to clog:

  • Lint and Fiber Buildup: Lint, fibers, and debris from clothing are the most common causes of clogged washer drains. Over time, they build up in the drain pipes and stop water from flowing. This is especially common in apartments, laundromats, and older homes with outdated plumbing.
  • Soap and Detergent Residue: Strong detergents and high-sudsing soaps can leave sticky residue on pipe walls. This traps lint and other debris, creating stubborn clogs that get worse over time.
  • Drain Pipe Problems: Sometimes the problem isn’t just what’s inside the pipe; it’s the pipe itself. Hoses that are bent, pipes that slope the wrong way, pipes that are too small, or pipes installed incorrectly can make it hard for water to drain, even if there’s no actual blockage.
  • Foreign Objects: Coins, buttons, and small items from pockets sometimes get stuck in drain pipes and cause instant blockages.

Signs Your Washer Drain is Clogged

Spotting the signs of a clogged washing machine early can save you time, stress, and costly repairs.

Common signs of a clogged washer drain include:

  • Standing Water: Water stays in or around your washer after the cycle ends, pooling on the floor or backing up into the tub.
  • Slow or No Drainage: Your machine drains very slowly or doesn't drain at all, leaving you with wet laundry and frustration.
  • Bad Smells: Foul smells coming from your washing machine or drain area show mold and bacteria growing inside clogged pipes; a health concern for your home or commercial space.
  • Weird Noises: Gurgling, bubbling, or strange sounds during the drain cycle mean air is stuck in clogged pipes trying to push water through.
  • Visible Backups: Water backing up into other drains in your home (kitchen sink, bathroom), along with washing machine problems, point to a bigger drainage issue.

If you notice any of these signs, act quickly. Fixing the problem early can help prevent water damage and keep your washing machine and plumbing working properly.

Our Washing Machine Drain Cleaning Process

Here’s what you can expect before, during, and after your washing machine drain service:

  1. Thorough Inspection of Your Washer Drain Line: When we arrive, we'll start with a careful inspection of your washer drain line, standpipe, and surrounding plumbing. During this inspection, we’ll explain exactly what we find; whether it’s lint buildup, detergent residue, a partial sewer clog, or a deeper plumbing issue, so you know the cause before any work begins.
  2. Camera Inspection for Deeper Issues (If Needed): For recurring problems or older plumbing systems, we use a video camera to inspect the inside of your drain line. This allows us to spot cracks, sagging sections, heavy buildup, or blockages farther down the line. We’ll share what we see in real time, helping you make informed decisions about the next steps.
  3. Professional-Grade Drain Cleaning: Once the source of the clog is confirmed and you approve the work, our technicians use specialized tools to ensure the blockage is fully cleared, restoring proper flow and preventing repeat backups.
  4. High-Pressure Water Jetting with Zoom Jetting® (If Needed): If the clog is severe or your pipes have years of buildup, we’ll use Zoom Jetting®, our hydrojetting service. This thoroughly cleans the inside of the drain pipe, removes stubborn debris, and helps prevent future backups.
  5. Clear Findings and Honest Recommendations: After cleaning, we’ll review everything with you, what we cleared, and any potential issues we noticed. We’ll also provide recommendations for maintenance or repairs if early signs of larger problems are detected, so you can make informed choices.
  6. Follow-Up and Ongoing Support: We want you to have peace of mind long after the service is done. That’s why we’re available for questions, follow-up inspections, or emergency support if needed.
