We're in the process of purchasing a house with a very small kitchen that currently has the utilities plumbed in under the counters. Directly below the kitchen is a very large basement/cellar that has the gas and water pipes for the kitchen running along the ceiling.
It would make a huge difference to the kitchen if we moved the washer and drier down there. Can't see the drier being too much of a problem - there's an old bricked up window we could possibly vent out of.
Does anyone have any experience of plumbing a washing machine below ground level? Would a sanivite or similar work to pump the grey water back up? Is there any chance of this actually working or is it a terrible idea that'll only lead to endless floods?
Thanks!
