They sent someone out to snake the line and charged me $200 dollars. The next time we ran the washing machine it did it again so I called them back and they said they do not guarantee their work so I would have to pay another $200. I would like to find out if there are others in my area that are experiencing the same issue because this sounds like an issue with the swing check valve being faulty at time of installation. If you or someone you know is having this same problem, please let me know. I am not going to continue to pay for something they can't fix by snaking the line. Thanks
How long have you owned the home and has this been a problem the whole time you have owned the home or just recently started? Was there an inspection done on the home by a licensed inspector before purchase ( probably wouldn’t have caught that anyway) and was there anything about the issue mentioned by the seller on the disclosure ? A camera is what I recommend and definitely a different plumber
