What Highland Park does
to a washer.

The city took its name from its parklike setting high above the lake.

About 24 percent of its housing units were built before 1940, and its median home dates from 1963, per the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 estimates.

Roughly 74 percent of its housing is single-family detached.

On a lake

Where a lakeside house walks out at the lower level, the washer often drains to a sump pit that sits near groundwater. If that drain backs up in heavy rain, the washer is the first appliance to show it.

Older housing stock

Wood floors in older houses flex under a spinning drum far more than a concrete slab does, so a washer upstairs or on a raised porch can shake and walk even with sound suspension. A level, well-supported base does as much for these machines as any new part.

Mixed housing

A block mixing prewar cottages and recent builds holds everything from dial-timer top-loaders to sensor-packed front-loaders, each calling for its own method. The old mechanical washers usually deserve the repair, since their parts remain plain and easy to get.
