[left]Just bought a house in Las Vegas. Was doin laundry on Saturday and noticed that a window first floor had water hitting it like rain. Went and and all the water from the washing was shooting down a drain from second floor. Has anyone ever encountered this? I snaked it yesterday and it didn’t help. I put some drano down it and it goes right to the same drain and outide the house. Almost seems like it’s hooked up directly to this drain. Any help would b appreciated. Thanx![/left]

OK. So I have done a major change to my cottage and now, instead of a perimeter foundation with a little insulation in the crawlspace, I now have a pillar foundation without any insulation below the floor. I won't go into the reason for this. My concern is that although I only use this cottage for 3 of the warmer seasons, in Canada, April and October can sometimes see below freezing temperatures, at least at night anyway. To ensure the washing machine's exit piping does not freeze I am planning on moving the j-trap out from below the cottage, into the same room as the machine itself. My plan is to simply cut the pipe and bring it up and then add some more piping to connect it back to the main exit pipe for the cottage. Can anyone see any problem with this plan as I have drawn it below. I know very little about exit piping so I would appreciate your help.
