Our LG washer sounds like it is going to come crashing to the 1st floor. We also have a stainless steel base that our washer sits in.

By: 10 Apartment-Sized Sofas for Every Style Under $1,000 By: Space. And actually, now insist on. You need to rip up the floor to put in a drain because upstairs laundries require a drain underneath the washer inside of a "pan". But I too have hook-ups available on the first floor and could move the machines pretty easily if it ever becomes an issue. And my laundry is on a cement foundation.

Do you have any advice for us?Well, I've never done a remodel like this but I can tell you that the last two homes we have owned have laundry upstairs.... here is what I know... 1.

I have been told that we have to consider drainage for the washer, vent pipe for the dryer, and electricity requirements that may have to be increased in that space. My laundry comes out of the roof and works fine. I would say that the venting of the drier has been a substantial problem and I would suggest that you keep the run as short as possible with as few kinks as possible.

By: We have plenty of space to build a laundry closet by using part of our master bathroom.I have had 4 contractors look at this job since last August. This adds 18dB of acoustic insulation for $3+/sf (materials only). We were able to save the kitchen floor, but, dining room, and hallway, and one bathroom, needed several weeks of work, to get them done again. If it were in the basement, I wouldn't like it, that would be 2 flights each way.

Plumber was about $2000, I did the electrical.

So PLEASE take noise into consideration.Our laundry was moved upstairs in a 1925 house. Did you ever find any info? When your laundry room is on the same floor, moving dirty clothes and soiled sheets to the washer is a lot simpler. Do you already have a drain upstairs you could tie into? By:

Despite all our attention to detail, we never questioned why the laundry room floor/subfloor was the same as all the rest or if there was extra structural support there. I had major issues with vibration too from my 3 year old Kenmore front loader (dishes would fall off my shelves on the first floor). The laundry room floor drain is one of those things that you notice, but you don’t pay much attention to until there is a problem. Of course I have adult age children still in college. Loved this but since the clothing was washed where it was stored things never got put away very well. Or you could go ahead and use 12mm cork underlay$1.59/sf) underneath 8mm laminate floating floor ($1.89/sf) to achieve 22 dB of acoustic insulation. 12 Entry Console Tables That Look Expensive But Cost Less Than $150 I suspect when the house was built, only a wringer washer was planned, not a dryer. If you live in a cold climate, make sure that the hot air leaking onto the roof does not cause an ice damn with the snow melting on the roof. However, it doesn't really matter what I think. That's why Bill Bartlett, president of Home Rebuilders in Atlanta, suggests turning a seldom-used spare bedroom into a laundry room with all the amenities.The first thing the homeowners need to consider is the type of laundry equipment they would prefer.

If on the second floor that's a lot of lugging closes to the basement, but I guess it's a good workout? I'd also much prefer a pantry or mudroom entrance.

The drain needs to be relatively large to handle the washer (2 inch in many places) and to have any chance of handling a washer overflow.

I'm thinking of bumping back the knee walls to 4-5' height to gain an additional 2-3 feet width on each side. 46 Chic & Functional Dorm Room Decorating Ideas The repairman told me the older ones actually had a rim of cement in them for added weight to dampen the vibrations.
Very minor cleanup, that took about 3 or 4 minutes, because, all the water had run down the floor drain.

Love it.


because I am very leak/stability/safety conscious. Have a pan under the washer.

The fact that you have space for a hook-up on the main floor is awesome and you can certainly advertise that if/when it comes time to sell.

You can add another 14dB by using Green Glue between the acoustic drywall and the old drywall for $2/sf...the materials = $5/sf without labour. Being my office is in my home, I honestly thought I would love the convenience of a 1st floor laundry, but I hate it. By: The only time I see not having a main floor laundry hurting you is when you go to sell, but you will still have one, the plumbing will still be there, they would just have to hook up the washer and dryer.Can't we all just get along when it comes to color versus neutrals?Before you pick a new place with your honey, plan and prepare to make the experience sweetIf you're waffling whether 'tis better to work with what you've got or start fresh somewhere else, this architect's insight can helpAfter 79 days of home cleaning, staging and — at last — selling, a mom comes away with a top must-do for her next abodeA Chicago couple's weekend retreat fulfills a long-held dream of honoring architect Frank Lloyd WrightA renovation rejiggers rooms and adds space. It has many bells and whistles, but the laundry is still in the basement. Might as well factor it into your remodel now.I used to think I'd love having a laundry right next to the BRs.
