This is how our washing machine is draining.
1. Does it matter where I install the p trap on this? Is where I drew it in yellow an okay spot? This pipe connects to the sewer drain in the floor which leads to septic system.
2. Since there is a vent connected to the sewer line that is going straight up, is that vent sufficient?
3. Also, the gray tubing you can see is actually a little below where it comes out of the machine, does that need to be higher? Our washer is on a stand/drawer, so we could probably take it off the stand.
4. Is the gray tubing even installed correctly? It's just shoved in there.
The problem we are trying to solve is the sewage smell in our house. Previous owners installed this washing machine like this. We don't have any back-up issues or anything else, just the horrid sewer smell. Thank you!!!
