We dry both

Washer overflowed upstairs? Check below right away.

Water from a second-floor laundry room flows through the floor and collects on top of the ceiling below. A brown spot, sag or drip from a light fixture means it is sitting there. Turn off the washer faucets, turn off power to any light near the stain, and keep people out from under it. Our ceiling water damage team drains, dries and repairs it.

Maytag leak points

Where Maytag washers usually leak

Drain hose and standpipe

A hose that is not secured, or a standpipe that is too short or clogged, spills a whole tub.

Water inlet valve

A valve that does not fully close can overfill the tub.

Tub seal (older top-loads)

Worn seals leak during agitation and spin.

Front-load door gasket

Torn or dirty gaskets drip out the front during washing.

Fill hoses

Rubber hoses at the back crack with age.

Oversudsing

Non-HE detergent creates foam that pushes water out.

Upstairs laundry

Why upstairs laundry rooms need extra care

Upstairs laundry is convenient, and common in newer Kirkland homes. But it puts gallons of water above bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms.

Where the water goes

Water runs under the washer, through gaps around the floor drain or drain pan, and into the space between floors. From there, it spreads along joists to ceilings and down walls.

What we dry

We dry the laundry room floor, the floor cavity between levels, the ceiling drywall below and any walls that wicked water. Thermal imaging shows where it traveled.

What usually needs repair

Sagging or stained ceiling drywall is replaced. Our drywall repair team matches texture and paint.

A pan can save a ceiling

A washer drain pan connected to a drain catches small leaks before they reach the floor. It is a small cost compared to a ceiling repair.

Kirkland homes

Maytag leaks we see around Kirkland

Upstairs laundry

Two-story homes in Kingsgate and Finn Hill often have laundry over the kitchen.

Older garage laundry

In Rose Hill and Lakeview, older Maytag top-loaders in garages leak toward the house wall.

Family homes

Busy households in Juanita run big loads daily, which wears hoses faster.

Prevention

Avoid your next Maytag leak

Secure the drain hose in the standpipe with a strap or clip.
Replace rubber fill hoses with braided steel.
Use HE detergent in HE models.
Install a washer pan with a drain upstairs.
Turn off faucets when you are away.
Add a leak sensor that alerts your phone.

FAQs

Maytag washer leak questions

Why is my Maytag washer leaking?

Common causes include a loose drain hose, a worn water inlet valve, cracked fill hoses, a torn door gasket on front-loaders, or too many suds. An appliance technician can find the exact part.

Is Maytag made by Whirlpool?

Yes. Maytag has been part of Whirlpool Corporation since 2006, and many models share parts and designs.

How do I know if water went through my ceiling?

Look for brown stains, bubbling paint, sagging drywall or drips around light fixtures in the room below the laundry. We can confirm with thermal imaging.

Why did my washer overflow?

The usual causes are a drain hose that slipped out, a clogged standpipe, an inlet valve that will not shut off, or oversudsing.

Is overflow water dirty?

Washer drain water is gray water. Carpet pad it soaks is usually replaced, and surfaces are cleaned and treated.

Do you fix Maytag washers?

No. We handle water damage only. An appliance repair company fixes the washer.
