Why your washer is leaking and how we fixed it for our client
A homeowner in Riverside, CA noticed water pooling under their washer after every cycle. Our technician Dennis arrived the same day and located the source of the leak, preventing damage and getting the machine back to normal.
Washer leaking from the bottom? Here’s what that means
A washer leaking from the bottom can point to a worn hose, loose clamp, damaged pump, or even detergent overflow. Ignoring it risks water damage and mold.
How to tell where a washer is leaking from
- Drain pump or hose – leaks during the drain/spin stage.
- Water inlet valve – drips during fill.
- Tub-to-pump hose – cracks near clamps are common.
- Door/cover seal (front-load) – tears or buildup cause mid-cycle leaks.
- Overloading / excess detergent – suds spill over.
