Floor height and horizontal drain pipe

[Virtuo0]

I am trying to replace the flooring in washing machine closet. Roughly 3 X 3 area. Originally there was carpet under washer . Hallway is all hardwood (3/4 inch). Ideally I want to install 3/4 in hardwood in the closet matching hallway. Now the challenge - there is a horizontal drain pipe coming out of wall that connects to the drain pan. This pipe is just 1/2 inch above the subfloor.

Is there anyway I can rise the drain pipe to work with 3/4 inch floor?

(updated to make it clear)

Your post is not as clear as you thought it was. One improvement would to say what "something" is. Is "something" replacement flooring?

Most ideal would be to maintain an level floor throughout and adjust the pan and drain to match. Height adjusting door transitions do exist too which might just make it simpler to raise/lower the floor level to that of the pan. But I imagine the pan would need to be removed in order to get flooring finished under that... so you have options.

Sorry about that. Something ( still debating between vinyl , hardwood etc). Lets say I am trying to install 3/4 in hardwood matching the hallway. Now the drain pipe thats coming out of wall is just 1/2 inch above the floor.

If the drain is coming from the wall... it probably goes down too.. Is there a crawl space that you can access the area underneath and perhaps lower the horizontal portion?

Or the simplest answer would be to shim up the pan with 1/2" plywood or similar material.

Sorry, I am obviously terrible at explaining this. The drain pipe needs to raise becuse the 1/2 in height is from subfloor. I also dont have access to anything under the floor or inside the wall. Its a condo complex , so I can only touch things that are inside the unit.

Updated the original post to make it clear.

So how about putting whatever gets the drain pan at right height under the pan? Then use new flooring, maybe even floating flooring, over a substrate, from hall up to the drain pan.

usually we dont strap the pipe too tight to allow it to pull up some thus giving more fall and not hurting a thing.
worst case senario make hole in subfloor do what ya gotta do?
