Comments (8)It looks like that long horizontal pipe that goes back toward the water heater is the main drain line for the house? Or is there also a drain in the floor somewhere? Assuming that is your only sewer drain, the water from the washer has to be pumped up higher than that line so that you get it to drain through the P-trap. You have a really short vertical drain standpipe right now on the P-trap, but it works because its a 3" pipe and it is able to clear the water quickly. If you had a standard 2" drain standpipe and it was that short it might fill up and overflow before it drains. If you want to move things around and also put the washer at floor level you may need a special setup to get enough lift for the water. However, remember that many folks spend big money to buy special stands that elevate front loading systems - you have a cheap one already made for you. The lift systems I am talking about are used for basements where the main drain pipe exits part way up the basement wall. They use a large basin to drain the water into, and then a sewage ejector pump to move the water up and into the horizontal drain pipe. Some of these systems can even handle the effluent from a toilet. Bruce...See MoreRental includes the ugliest 1/2 bath /laundry room..Help!
Comments (5)Here are three options.

Comments (5)Definitely good ideas above... an L shaped storage with counter and room for the pets food/water station built in, for me I have to have a laundry sink, for mop water and hanging wet clothes over so I would put that next to the w/d and build a counter around it and a small strip under the window with narrow shelves on the window wall. Lucky you having a handy guy!...See Moreenjoythejourney
