In early-1900s homes like those in Old Town, drain lines may be undersized, clogged with lint and mineral buildup, or have low spots where water pools. Modern washing machines output much more water than 50-year-old pipes were designed to handle. A plumber can camera-inspect the drain line, remove clogs, or install a condensate pump to prevent backup. Regular drain cleaning helps, but replacing an undersized drain line is the permanent fix.
