Washer odors in Carol Stream laundry rooms
A washer that smells sour or like sewage is not always dirty inside. Soap scum and lint build up in the drain hose, the pump and the outer tub. That buildup feeds bacteria that smell worse in warm months. In older Carol Stream laundry rooms, a dry trap in the drain line can also let sewer gas drift up. Our technician checks the pump filter, the drain hose and the tub for slime. We also look at whether the standpipe has a working trap.

In Carol Stream, the price is agreed while you watch, before any work. Same-afternoon visits are common, and our warranty stays with the repair.
Washer drains in Carol Stream's older laundry rooms
A washer in an older Carol Stream house drains into a standpipe. That is the open pipe the drain hose hooks into. Old standpipes are often narrow and short. A new front-load washer pumps water out much faster than the old one did. So the pipe overflows onto the floor during the drain cycle. That looks like a washer leak, but the washer is fine. We check the drain before we replace any part. When the washer really is at fault, it is often the drain pump. We change the pump in the laundry room in one visit. The price is fixed before we start.
