Whittier Plumber, La Habra Plumber

When it comes to the laundry drain line unlike other drains in the house it handles a massive amount of water very quickly. Other drains in the house like the shower or lavatory sink can usually be maintained by snaking periodically when needed. But the laundry needs to handle to much volume for snaking the line to be effective. Snaking just makes a small diameter hole in the middle of the line usually about 40% of the pipes inner diameter. Most washing machines need every bit of a drain line to not spill out the top of the stand pipe. There are two options if this is a common problem for you. First option is to hydro jet line with high pressure water. This will get the pipe back to its original size and is typically much cheaper then replacing. Option 2 is to bite the bullet and replace the line with new abs piping. Drain lines from the 1950′s and 60′s just can’t handle the flow of today’s washers. Once replaced you will have no problems.
