Welcome to Right There Plumbing!
Right There Plumbing did not do the original plumbing in this home in the picture. When we visit a home for a plumbing issue, we often inherit plumbing we didn’t build. But our goal is always to deliver fair, sensible solutions without pushing costly, unnecessary rebuilds.
Customer Issue
In this service call, a Harrodsburg homeowner noticed their washing machine backing up wastewater straight into their bathtub basin during spin cycles.
What We Did
Trenton and Wyatt from our team crawled underneath the house to trace the system and find the issue. They cleared the downstream restriction in the shared branch line and corrected any pipe pitch to keep water moving.
Why It Matters
Washing machine pumps discharge 20 to 30 gallons per minute. When laundry and bathtub lines share a 2-inch drain branch, the tub sits at the lowest elevation. Any bottleneck downstream forces surging water back up into the tub. While this crawl space setup wasn’t necessarily how we’d install it from scratch, being a reliable plumber means fixing the problem fairly—clearing the issue and keeping money in the customer’s pocket.
