Greetings,
The previous owner of my house plumbed the washing machine to just dump out into the wetlands next to our house and we'd like to drain it into the stack properly so frogs don't smell like laundry detergent. They replaced the septic and drain field when we bought the house but somehow approved the washing machine draining into the swamp...
Anyways, there is a stack (pictured) a few feet from where the machine drains out the side of the house. The washer has a proper 2" standpipe, trap. and vent, which is probably why the home inspector didn't catch it. It looks like it previously went into an abandoned 2" pipe that goes through cinderblock wall.
Where would be the best spot to cut in to add the 2" drain with minimal impact to the existing configuration? I was thinking of using a oatey 2" to 3" saddle between the shower and wc (green circle in photo). Are there any issues the experts here can see with doing that?
Thanks in advance!
