Santa Monica blends beachside living with urban sophistication—from the historic homes of the north-of-Montana neighborhood to the modern condos along Wilshire and the eclectic bungalows of Ocean Park.

Frequently Asked Questions

A clogged drain pump, a kinked drain hose, or a blocked air gap are the most common causes. Food debris and small objects frequently clog the drain pump filter. Our tech inspects the full drain path during the $59 diagnostic — waived with repair — and clears or replaces the failed component on the spot.

Yes. Use towels or a wet-dry vac to soak up the water. Then check the drain filter at the bottom of the tub — it's often accessible by hand and may have food debris blocking it. If clearing the filter doesn't solve the problem, the drain pump or hose likely needs professional attention.

It's not dangerous, but standing water will become stagnant and smelly, and the dishwasher won't clean properly if old water is sitting in the tub at the start of each cycle. The problem usually worsens over time as the clog builds, so it's best to get it fixed sooner.
