If you've ever wanted a laundry sink but couldn't come up with a way to drain it, you're not alone.
Most older homes have inadequate plumbing, especially when it comes to laundry drains.
Often there's only a trapped drain in the basement floor. And many basements, both old and new, have no below-floor drainage piping at all. These are common problems with no easy solutions. Of course, the best approach is to break open the basement floor and install new drain and vent piping, but this is not always feasible. Another good alternative, especially when the sewer exits through a basement wall, is to break open a smaller section of flooring and install a below-grade sump pit and pump.
