Washer Repair in San Rafael
Same-day service available for San Rafael washers. From $275 with OEM parts.
Call or text (415) 585-5900. Same-day service available. We see many basement and garage laundries in San Rafael.
In older San Rafael homes near downtown and Gerstle Park, the washer is often in a basement or under the house, reached by stairs, with a standpipe drain that was installed decades ago. Slow drains and overflowing standpipes are common there.
Lucas Valley and Terra Linda Eichlers have laundry in a closet or the garage, and the Peacock Gap homes along the bay often have newer front-loaders in finished laundry rooms.
We repair washers in Gerstle Park, downtown, Dominican, Sun Valley, Peacock Gap, Glenwood, Terra Linda, Lucas Valley, Marinwood and the canal area.
Old drains and modern washers
New washers pump water out fast. An older standpipe that is too short or partly clogged cannot keep up, so water spills out the top during the drain.
We can tell whether the washer or the drain is at fault. If it is the plumbing, we explain what a plumber should look at.
San Rafael washer problems
Water overflowing the standpipe
A clogged or short drain line, not always the washer.
Basement washer will not spin
A door lock, belt or motor fault.
Leaks onto the garage floor
Old hoses or a worn pump seal.
Clothes still soaked
A drain or spin problem; we test both.
Look at this first
Watch the drain hose during the pump-out. If water spills from the standpipe, the drain line is the issue. Clean the pump filter on front-loaders.
