Walnut Grove, BC
Appliance Leak Cleanup in Walnut Grove, BC
Walnut Grove was built with the washer in the basement. A split hose is the leak we see most, and it is in the tenant's laundry before the owner upstairs notices a sound.
Window-well rain in the same suite is a second source. We do not let the hose take the blame for the glass.
1990s laundry closets
Rubber hoses from the original install are still in some of these closets. We shut them off, lift the vinyl, and open the wall behind the machine if the meter says the cavity is wet.
The suite versus the stairs
Water that reaches the suite hallway is still clean water, but the tenant cannot use that laundry. We dry the suite floor and leave the owner's upstairs rooms alone if they read dry.
Dishwashers on the main floor
Less common than the basement washer, and they wet the ceiling of the suite. That is a lid, not a hose on a slab.

Questions from this area
Appliance Leak Cleanup in Walnut Grove: common questions
Should every old hose be changed after this?
Yes. We will say so. Braided lines fail less often than the rubber ones still in these closets.
The tenant wants the carpet cleaned, not pulled. Is that enough?
Not if the pad is wet. The pad is the smell.
Do newer streets east of 88 Avenue have the same laundry?
Fewer basement suites. The leak is more often a main-floor closet over a garage.
