Burbank incorporated as a city in 1970, but most of its houses were built two decades earlier, in the post-war boom. Four out of five homes are single-family houses and most are owner-occupied, so the typical call here is a homeowner with a basement washer and dryer and a kitchen that has been updated at least once.

What to check in a Burbank basement laundry

In homes of this era the washer usually drains into a laundry tub or a standpipe beside a floor drain. When a washer seems not to drain, first watch the tub or standpipe during the drain cycle: if water backs up there, the problem is the house drain, not the washer.

Rubber inlet hoses are the other thing worth a look. They are the most common source of a sudden laundry-room flood, and braided stainless hoses are an inexpensive upgrade when a technician is already there.

  • Water pooling around the base only during the drain cycle: check the standpipe or tub first.
  • Water behind the machine at any time: inlet hoses or valve connections.
  • Water at the front of a front loader: door boot or pump filter cap.

Water in Burbank

Burbank’s water comes from the South Stickney Sanitary District, which serves the whole city. It is Lake Michigan water purchased from Chicago, which Chicago rates at about 7.6 to 8.8 grains per gallon of hardness (source). Scale on dishwasher elements and in ice maker valves is normal over the years.

Appliance repair in Burbank: common questions

Is Burbank, Illinois covered?
Yes. ZIP 60459 is covered, along with neighboring Oak Lawn, Bridgeview, Hometown and the Ashburn area of Chicago.
My washer overflows at the laundry tub. Is that the washer?
Usually not. If water backs up out of the tub or standpipe while the washer drains, the house drain is slow or blocked. That is a plumbing call.
How do I get rid of an old appliance in Burbank?
Check with the City of Burbank or its refuse hauler for current bulk and appliance pickup rules before putting anything at the curb. Many repair providers can also tell you about haul-away when you replace a unit.
