Thanks in advance for any help! Part 1: My laundry/utility room is unfinished and in the basement (exterior wall). We purchased a new front load washer and dryer, and it had been working well for 2 weeks or so. Right now, I have copper supply lines coming to a laundry tub and galvanized drain...

Hi! I've searched around, but haven't seen this asked so forgive me if I'm repetitive. Currently, my washing machine has to pump draining water about 5 ft and then up 3 ft before it hits the drain. The pump on my washer is tired. I could buy a new machine and wear it out or - at the...
