My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Noise and vibration of washer dryer

12 years ago
I wonder what the noise and vibration is like in the rest of the House around the closet. Is it on the second floor? Did you do something to manage the noise? Does it shake the house? We have recently done something similar and the vibration has been a huge issue.

    It is on the Second Level and we installed a "disaster pan" which is in case of a flood and that in installed level and then with the appliances also being leveled, there has been no issue of noise of vibration.

    Where do you buy the pan?

    Judy those pans should be available from plumbing suppliers, possibly even big box stores.
