Even the most beautiful homes can hide plumbing headaches. In City Beach, Rich was called out when washing machines weren’t draining properly — and what looked like a simple issue quickly turned into a detective job.
Location: City Beach, WA
The Problem
On arrival, Rich discovered a combination of issues:
•Laundry trap setup with a badly capped spigot
•Tiny outlet hole restricting water flow
•Fluff and debris building up inside the trap
•A piece of rogue plastic lodged inside, blocking drainage
•Even a luxury home isn’t immune to poor plumbing setups!
The Fix
Rich carefully investigated and corrected each problem:
•Reconfigured the laundry trap setup for proper flow
•Enlarged the outlet hole to remove water restriction
•Cleared built-up fluff and debris from the trap
•Removed the hidden plastic obstruction
•Restored proper drainage for all washing machines
“From fluff to full blockage, sometimes you have to go all-in to get it flowing right again.”
The Result
•Luxury laundry fully operational
•Drainage issues permanently fixed
•Homeowner happy, with machines draining efficiently
This job highlights the importance of proper trap & spigot installation and hands-on troubleshooting, even in high-end homes.
