Why is it sometimes, not always I find water in my washing machine when it rains? I am not washing at the time.

Your machine would be plumbed into the outside pipes, so there could be water coming in from maybe a crack or a broken pipe or join, this would allow water to seep in from the outside which would then eventually end up in your machine.

I would try and have a look yourself just in case the inlet is obvious to the eye, if not call in a plumber or maybe you have some insurance which may cover the instalation of your machine.

How much water are we speaking of? Cheers, tom

How much water are we speaking of? Is there a sump pump in your basement?
Let me know, Tom
