Default Relocating a washer and dryer

Not a bad idea, but I'm wondering what the amount of phosphates and
nasties in detergent would do to your lawn. I'm guessing it wouldn't
be good.

some nasties act as fertilizers..........espically phosphates

bad idea if your area freezes, or close by neighbors complain.

forget selling home with this...... home inspection nightmare.

rather than going thru sl;ap you could pump it, using trash pump to a
comvenient drain.

if washer is going to finished space consider what will happen when
machine floods or leaks.....


The plumber claims it's not against code, but he's from California (I'm in
Dallas). It can get cold here. It's seldom below freezing for days on
end, but there was a stretch in the early 1980s where the lakes around here
started to freeze. I'm guessing that would mess up the system. I wonder
if it would stress the pipe enough to ruin it?
