Q: How do I keep my egress window from flooding?

• <div><p>Keep your egress window from flooding by ensuring that the drainage system in the window well is clear and in good working condition.

If your washing machine is experiencing drainage issues, it's best to address the problem directly by inspecting and cleaning the lint filter, checking for clogs in the drain hose, or seeking professional repair services. Using drain cleaner in a washing machine is a risky solution that can cause more harm than good.</p></div>
