All - first post on this forum..
I would like to relocate my washing machine to another corner of my basement. It currently drains directly into a sink which drains directly to the sump pump (drain under concrete). I'm not planning on having a sink at the new location, was curious if I can drain the washing machine via a standpipe/trap configuration that then discharges into the sump (above the concrete)? Any code violations with this approach? I would have to vent the drain line to the roof.
Are there any advantages to pumping the washing machine via a proper setup directly to the sewer, rather that letting it drain to the sump?
Third question... I get the gas odor in the house. To properly vent the gasses, should I just get a cover/grommet and have a 2" PVC vent run to the roof as well?
