Putting waste pipe into concrete floor
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.29 PM
Hello, We are getting the kitchen refitted and it is a very awkward space. Our best bet is to move the washing machine. Once moved, it would be on the wall which has the external drain but the back door would then be between the washing machine and drain. Therefore, we would need to run a pipe under the floor to connect it. Turns out we have a concrete floor... Can this still be done? Many thanks! Jo

Easy answer if you can, go out behind the washing machine outside and drop down and run under the door cill if you have room?
If not the chop a channel in the floor making sure it’s deeper near the drain so you have a fall in the pipe and the through the wall into the drain.

Running the waste underneath the floor is fine. I have done this many of times, I would say not to use too many fittings under the fooor. If u can would be good to clip the pipe to the floor also

As above. Only addition I would make is that we always always always (you get my point!) check there are no other services under the concrete- gas, water power. So whoever’s chasing needs to go slowly and use a scanner the area if poss. Hope this helps
