We have a new Lg Front loader washing machine...

The manual says the drain pump will work to a max of 8 feet.

I'm wondering if I could relocate my washer to where there is no drain
pipe, then install plumbing in the basement ceiling over to a drain
pipe.

In other words pump it up and over, rather than breaking up the basement
floor to extend the drain.

I don't see any problem with that although most others don't like it. Not
sure why?

If it was mine I'd do your plan but set the washer op on a 16" to 24"
base. First it makes things easier on your back when you don't have to
bend so low. Second, it doesn't push your drain pump to it's max rating.

I will probably try something like that.....

With the pumping systems being between $300 - $800 and still a lot of
equipment to go wrong, it's either that, or break up the floor.
