Washer
Washing machine installation and plumbing can present various risks that are important to assess, helping prevent water damage, leaks, and operational issues like excessive vibration or noise.
Optimal
The washing machine is properly installed, balanced, and in excellent working condition. The water supply lines are made of durable, high-quality material (eg, steel braiding), and a drain pan is installed to prevent water damage. There are no signs of leaks or imbalances, and the machine operates smoothly without excessive vibration or noise.
Cautionary
The washing machine is functional, but there are minor concerns such as minor leaks, water supply lines made of less durable materials (eg, rubber or plastic), or minor imbalances. These issues are not causing immediate problems but should be addressed to prevent potential damage or inefficiency.
Hazardous / Out of Range
The washing machine is in poor condition, with significant issues such as worn or damaged water supply lines, missing or damaged drain pans, or severe imbalance. These issues can lead to water damage, leaks, excessive wear on the machine, or even structural damage. Immediate attention is required to prevent further damage.
