I am currently relocating the laundry room to the second floor. Online I found a 35" x 35" shower pan with a corner drain to sit the washing machine in. It has to be less costly than tile the entire floor. Corner drain, not directly under the washer, allows for visual checks and add water or mineral oil to keep the P trap full.
Some other good ideas:
If you're worried about overflowing, maybe add a water alarm to the floor, so that the flooding is noticed (and less likely to be a repeat event). Good hoses (Floodcheck?) and an automatic shutoff system (that detects overflowing water) might help protect from hose failure.
For the dryer, a duct back pressure monitor (like a LintAlert) is great for knowing when something is obstructing the flow of air.... or just use a heat pump clothes dryer!
Thats almost exactly what I am looking for.
Like the second lint trap, was not aware they existed, thanks Matt.
For the fiberglass "bathtub" did you just use off the shelf chop strand mat fiberglass with resin? or something more specialized.
thanks for the tips!
My secondary lint trap is a mess to clean (lint and dust fly everywhere when I pull it out). Do you have any tips for how to clean it without making the laundry room more linty?
Really like the videos, now if you could just start building homes in central MN. . .
No time soon! Thanks for watching!
Is the 2nd floor on floor trusses? How did you lower the floor from the rest of the sub-flooring
Do you have to dump a bucket of water on the floor on occasion to keep the trap in the floor drain full or does it use some other technique to block sewer gases?
(that's a really valid concern!) I think a trap primer is the best answer for that?
Does it have to drain to the sewer? Or can it simply drain to the exterior? I'm not sure how the code handles this type of drain.
To answer your question - yep. I have a laundry room floor drain and occasionally we get a foul smell in the room when the trap dry's out. We simply dump a bucket of water down the drain and all is good in the world again.
I pour a small bottle of mineral oil in the trap. It will never dry out! Matt
Excellent idea Matt.
intro = 10% of whole video. still good video. good content.
I have this. Doesn’t seal very well
Ahh... if that floor drain is under the washer with a P trap -- the trap can dry out and let sewer gas into the room
