    Underground wet washing machine waste

    Hello. I need to run my washing machine waste outside, underground and connect to my soil sewer. I have enough fall into the sewer but where it goes underground around my conservatory for about 20 metres the pipe will remain full of waste water. Is that permitable or is there a solution?

    Hi guys. I'm going to put my washing machine adjacent to my bathroom. The path of least resistance to plumb the waste pipe would be under the bath tub. Is this allowed? If yes, would there be any issues with the bathtub draining slower or the washing machine waste coming up into the bath tub...

    Drain hose - integrated washing machine / condensing dryer

    Hi Would like to extend this hose to a total of 3.2m (which is ok in the manual) Can I route the hose down to floor level (so as to go underneath the oven and cabinets etc) before then coming back up to connect in to the sink? Or is that not allowed / would cause problems? Thanks! :)
