Hello all I am in need of some advice. I am currently begining a remodel of the laundry room and need to relocate the washing machine. It is currently located on the wall opposite the dryer. I plan on moving it across the room to sit next to the dryer. Obviously I will need to rerun Hot/Cold water supply lines, but my problem is the drain. The current setup that is there for a drain now is not very good as it stands now. I had to concoct an elaborate setup just to allow the machine to drain and not overflow to the floor. The wall the machine sits against right now is a shared wall in what used to be an old garage. so the laundry room is on a cement slab and their is a raised foundation which the drain runs to the main line under the house. The problem seems to be this run from the laundry room to the main septic T is only 1"1/2 pipe and is at almost an incline to the T. I am guessing this is why I had to put a hose clamp on the washing machine drain line just so it wouldn't overflow the drain system?
So I guess what I am really asking is how is it possible to #1 replace the current long run with a 2" line and have the incline problem fixed. And #2 after this addressed, how do I need to run a drain system from across the room without going under the concrete slab? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreaciated, Thanks. Matt.
