It's that simple?!!! So I actually don't need to buy a washer emergency shut-off? Thank you!

Thank you!

First of all, please excuse my questions if they are silly. We bought a 1950's house. The plumbing behind the washer is different. I don't know how to effectively communicate with the plumber over the phone. So I am here to educate myself. Thank you very much for your time! I am used to a box...

Hello all, I talked to the next door neighbor today. His house is the same floor plan, same age. We should have a floor drain, but it's covered under the vinyl flooring 4 feet in front of the utility sink. It's at least 10 feet away from the water heater.

The inspector used the roof vent. I asked on NextDoor app and someone said the CL could be in the closet. They are right. I guess it might be the style back then. Seal the CL in the closet next to the basement bathroom. The basement toilet is at the back of the house, that's why I assume the...
