Did you know a few, simple maintenance tips can save your washing machine?

2/15/2018 (Permalink)

Washing machines are one of the trusty work horses in the home. Researchers estimate that the average family of four does about 8 to 10 loads of laundry a week; that’s over 500 loads of laundry a year! With that much work, it’s important to be good to your washing machine. Here are some preventative maintenance tips you should perform to keep the work horse running happy:

• Did you know your washing machine lines should be replaced every 3-5 years? Each time the machine is turned on or off, the lines are contracting and expanding, which leads to eventual wear and tear. Replacing those line every 3 to 5 years will lead to a happier machine.
• Replacing your machine lines are as easy as replacing your outdoor hoses. But, please remember to make sure your water is shut off before you begin, and you are securing them with a wrench. 
• If you have rubber hoses replace them with stainless steel braided hoses.

If the unexpected happens and your washing machine line springs a leak and causes water damage, know that your local SERVPRO is here to help.
