What it usually is
The standpipe and trap behind the washer can clog with lint. If the overflow happens only on the drain cycle, the line is likely partly blocked.
What to do first
Stop using the washer. Turn off the machine and unplug it if there is standing water near the outlet. Do not pour chemicals into the standpipe.
The flat rate that covers it
- Single drain clearing (accessible cleanout): $189
- Diagnosis / service call (plumbing or electrical): $79
Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill. In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.
