Default Comfort zone

For you that like to stay within your SOP and not check a washing machine drain line you would have missed this one as it overflowed out the furnace condensate floor drain onto the garage floor. Yes I know you dudes have disclaimers for this but it does not keep your phone from ringing when the first load of clothes were washed by your client and it prevents you from repeat business they call me instead

What is your inspection process on washing machines. Do you run a full cycle or just rinse?

Who runs a full load, enough to drain?
I start em, if they're there, just to see if they're alive.
and that's it.
Along with the disclaimers...

David I fill the tub about 1/2 full if the machine is there and I flip it to spin if the drain can handle that its good to go.

I have a rubber washing machine hose with one female end cut off that I use if the home is vacant the cut off end fits into the drain real nice and I loop the hose around the other valve so it does not jump out of the drain with pressure applied. All you SOP guys disregard the above I want your business
