Here's the deal. When we had our house built, I had asked the 3 stooges contractors to install a drain for the washing machine in the basement. It works but......I believe the trap is larger than the PVC pipe going into the drain. Now, when running the washing machine excess water comes out of the drain into a temporary (6 years) bucket to catch the extra water.
Question of the day.
Can I install a new drain into the side of the main line instead ot the top of the drain? I will be using a trap and all PVC will be of the same size.
Or, do I just install a new one on the top using the same size PVC and will that clear up the issue?
ps. That is as high as my drain hose will run. If I need a longer hose and taller drain pipe, I could do that also.
Thanks in advance.
