Thanks for all the tips. The local box stores don't have the 3005-33 in stock so I need to travel further over the weekend. Will get to replacement after that.

Actually...I think I spoke too soon. There were two places where the pipes were just slightly offset, so a family member suggested using a Fernco coupling. At that point I was pretty flustered and wanted to get it done, so I didn't think much of it...but after researching a bit more I'm pretty...

Thanks for all the replies, managed to pull it off over the weekend!

Thanks for the response. Moving everything upstairs would be a huge project for me, not very confident as a new DIYer o_O Just for my knowledge, the current standpipe is well beyond 42" since it's going into the basement, so what's the risk with this setup?

Hi everyone, I opened the wall in my laundry room and discovered that the drainage pipe for the washer is 1.5" PVC. Brief online search says that it needs to be 2". The pipe extends down into the basement and connects via tee fitting to another 1.5" pipe, then it finally reaches a larger 3"...
