Washing Machine Repair in Alpharetta, GA

Second-floor laundry and north Fulton water

Alpharetta's newer two-story homes and townhomes often put laundry upstairs next to the bedrooms. That is convenient until a hose bursts or a door boot tears, because the water goes straight into the ceiling below. In those homes we always look at the drain pan and supply hoses as part of a washer visit.

In Windward, the 1980s master-planned community around Lake Windward, laundry rooms are often on the main floor, but the homes are old enough that many shutoff valves have not been turned in years. We check that they close before we disconnect anything.

Alpharetta's water comes from Fulton County, which draws from the Chattahoochee River and treats it at the Tom Lowe plant in Johns Creek. If several homes on your street have low pressure at once, that is a question for the county; a single washer filling slowly is usually its own inlet valve or screens.

For a second-floor laundry room, consider a water-leak sensor on the floor beside the washer. It is an inexpensive way to catch a slow leak before it shows up as a stain on the ceiling below.
