Washer repair in Gastonia, from basements to laundry closets
In an older Gastonia house, the washer can be in a basement, a back porch turned laundry room, a kitchen corner or a hallway closet. Duplexes and small apartment buildings make up about 9% of homes, and larger buildings another 18%.
We repair top-load and front-load washers all over Gastonia, and we look at the hookup as well as the washer.
Older hookups and drains
Older laundry hookups may have aging shutoff valves, short drain standpipes or drains that partly clog over time. A washer that pumps out fast can overflow a slow drain and look like it is leaking. We check where the water is coming from before replacing parts.
If your shutoff valves are hard to turn or drip, mention it. They are part of keeping water off the floor.
Basements and back rooms
A washer on a basement floor or an old porch slab may not sit level, and an unlevel washer bangs during the spin and wears its suspension. Leveling the feet fixes a lot of noise.
Rentals and shared laundry
In duplexes and small apartment buildings, washers may be shared or owned by the landlord. If you rent, tell your landlord the symptoms first. If you are the owner, tell us which unit and who will let us in.
Washer repair in Gastonia: questions
Water shows up behind my washer during the drain. Is the washer leaking?
Maybe not. A slow or short drain standpipe can overflow when the washer pumps out. We check the drain and the drain hose along with the washer.
My washer bangs loudly in the spin cycle. Should I stop using it?
Try a smaller, even load and check that it sits level. If it still bangs, stop using it and book a repair, because worn suspension parts get worse quickly.
