relocate washer/dryer
I want to relocate my washer and dryer from one side of my first floor to the other. the distance is about 15 feet. There is a crawl space under the house where the pipe and vent originate. Is this a big job? It doesnt seem like it would be but I got an estimate of $1,100 from one plumber. I am pretty handy. I can sweat copper and have replaced bathroom sink and shower fixtures. Is this something I should try.
Thanks

A washer needs:
A. 120v outlet
B. Hot and cold water supply lines w/washer hose connections.
C. A vented drain w/trap for the washer drain hose to hook into.
An electric dryer needs:
A. 240v clothes dryer receptacle
D. A metal dryer exhaust vent to the outside.
Drain line should slope 1/4" per linear foot toward main drain connection.
Check with your Building Inspection Department for local codes, permits, inspection info, etc.
Good Luck!

This is what you have to do, see picture below, it is a big job, if you think you can handle it then I wish you the best of luck, make sure you get the 1/4" per foot on the footage you are needing to run.
All pipes are 2" expect when doing the vent, that can be 1-1/2"
