An easy way to keep your machine operating efficiently is to check the hose. If you notice any signs of wear, consider replacing old rubber hoses with ones made of braided stainless steel. The Braided hose will last longer and are much less likely to crack or leak. If you need to fix your washing machine drain hose or unclog your laundry line, call Total Plumbing and we’ll send a specialist to evaluate and tackle the problem right away.

A frequent problem that occurs with a washer is that the drain line will clog with hair and other debris from the laundry. Make sure you have a strainer on your washing machine hose to keep out these potentially difficult materials. Another clog that may occur is within the pipes. Lint and other items can build up over time.
