I had to redo my plumbing for my washer since we wanted to move it to a different wall. I didn’t look up slope until after everything was completed. I put about an 1” fall over 8’. Is that enough fall or do I need to add more somehow? Pipe size is 2.5” from washer drain then 8’ to 3” vent and...

I plan on moving my washer and dryer out of the kitchen and put it into the closed(insulation) old garage. Theres no drain or water hook up. I don't plan on digging into the slab for the drain. I've seen other houses in my area that have used a sump to drain the water through the attic back to...

Hello Everyone! I’m at my wits end with my washer drain overflowing and would appreciate any advice. I live in a 1970s mobile home, so it has 1-1/2” plumbing for the washer stack and drain. In the fall of last year, I replaced my old washer with a new Speed Queen toploader. It worked fine...

I am in the process of roughing in my cabin in WV. I am far away from a plumbing inspection, but while the inspector was there today inspecting framing (he inspects everything but electrical), he said my laundry/lav drain was not correct. I was not there and the builder was relaying what he said...

I'm still working on the remodel.... My washer needed new valves so I had those installed last week. The plumber cut the sheet rock all the way down to the floor. This weekend I washing clothes and noticed water trickling out where the pvc standpipe attaches to the castiron. Is this a seal...

First pic shows what I believe would be a standard install. P-Trap + P-Trap elbow, connected to a vent. Second pic shows using a sanitary tee RATHER than the elbow that came with the P-Trap, functioning as both the P-Trap elbow and as the vent coming out the top. Are there any issues with this...

Hey, guys. I was hoping I could get some opinions here. I want to add a drain and washer outlet box for a washing machine to this. The wall extends another stud to the right of the picture, and is probably where I'd like to put the outlet box. Any suggestions on where to tap into this...

Many homes in the 60's had 1.5" galvanized waste lines for the washer. My parents had something like that and it flooded often. I replaced theirs in the 70's. Here is a Lake Hills home from 1960 with the old galvanized trap and standpipe, which was also flooding. At the concrete level I found a...
