Upper Level Laundry Room? Yes or No?
8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago
During this total home remodel, our clients decided to move the laundry room to the upper level of their home. Because of this, our clients no longer have to lug laundry up and down the stairs. To ensure no leaks occur into the finished spaces below, we installed a tile disaster pan underneath the washing machine.
Do the benefits of an upper level laundry room outweigh the risk of leaks and the annoyance of washer/dryer noise?
Yes! With the right leak precautions and placement, an upper level laundry room is total worth it!
No! The laundry room should be located in the lower level or main level of the home. Not worth the risk of leaks or flooding!
