Washer calls in Gary most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.

In Indiana, you can check a license with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency License Verification or report a problem to the Indiana Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
