Tonight, I was attempting to do some laundry. I had succeeded in one load of permanent press, next was jeans and colors combined. The jeans and colors did not fill up the machine, but it was a good amount of clothes.
During a commercial break, I was going to put the jeans and colors in the dryer and I stepped into a pool of water....at the sink! This pool was a lake leading all the way to the washer. I screamed for Jonathan's name in the other room and quickly grabbed some towels. After cleaning up the puddle, I immediately looked up our apartment policy regarding emergency maintenance issues. It said that if the issue was to cause property damage, it was considered an emergency....water, square stick-down vinyl "tiles", leaky washer, EMERGENCY!!
We called the leasing office and left a page for the emergency maintenance worker. 10 minutes later, "the man" arrived at our door to fix our problem. What he found out was our drain line (the thick black hose-a sample pictured below) popped out of place because of the water pressure and drained on our floor instead of down the drain. He told us to keep an eye on it for the next couple of wash cycles, and if it keeps popping out he would rig it to stay put.
Thanks you maintenance man!!
