A laundry room drain that suddenly starts overflowing can quickly turn a routine chore into a stressful situation. That’s exactly what happened at this Spokane home when a drain that had been slowing down for some time finally backed up whenever the washing machine emptied. Because the home had experienced drain issues before, the homeowner wanted more than a temporary fix. Bulldog Rooter responded quickly, diagnosed the cause of the backup, and ultimately restored the sewer line with a trenchless lining solution designed for long-term reliability.
Job Overview

- Scope: Diagnose recurring laundry drain backup and repair damaged sewer line
- Equipment Installed: Trenchless sewer liner
- Additional Work (if any): Mainline drain clearing, sewer camera inspection, sewer line evaluation, trenchless sewer rehabilitation
- Why It Mattered: The repair restored dependable drainage and helped prevent future backups and water damage.
What We Found
The homeowner reported that the laundry drain had been draining slowly for some time but had recently begun overflowing whenever the washing machine discharged water. Because the home had experienced previous stoppages, our team investigated beyond the immediate blockage. After clearing the line and performing a sewer camera inspection, we identified a larger issue within the main sewer line that required a permanent repair rather than another temporary drain cleaning.
The Solution
Bulldog Rooter first addressed the active backup so the home’s drainage system could function properly. A sewer camera inspection was then performed to evaluate the condition of the mainline and pinpoint the source of the recurring problem.
Based on the inspection findings, our team recommended a trenchless sewer lining solution. Over the following days, the sewer line was rehabilitated using a liner that created a new pipe within the existing line. This approach allowed the damaged section to be repaired without the extensive excavation often associated with traditional sewer replacement projects.
Once the liner installation was complete, the system was tested to confirm proper flow and operation.
The Results
The homeowner’s laundry drain and sewer system were restored to normal operation. More importantly, the underlying sewer line issue was addressed rather than simply treating another symptom of the problem. With the new liner in place, the home now has a durable sewer line solution designed to provide reliable drainage for years to come.
