My model has a 2nd floor laundry room? Does anyone have any experience with this? I have heard that they are convenient, yet other have had a problem with leaks. Anyone have any info? |

With two boys, 1 and 3, my wife swears by it. We would never buy one with the laundry in the basement, ever. Ours did even came with a sink and undersink cupboards and countertop as well as the linen is in there. One thing to mention here is that if the laundry is in the 1st or 2nd floor it counts into the total sq.ft. of the house while if it is in the basement it will count not. |

Is there a drain in the floor? That is something that we were going to ask? Tim |

LOVE IT!!! It's a multi-tasker's dream. I am in a phase 2 house and we have more of a laundry "closet" upstairs...now we're going to Phase 12 where we'll have a laundry room. About the leaks - apparently Mattamy has changed the design for upstairs laundry, something about draining to below, which is supposed to be a safer bet. Jen E. |

Has anyone asked about putting a drain in their second floor laundry? I asked about it for the Greensburg, but at the design center they said it couldn't be done because the ceiling wouldn't allow it...something to do about the water trap being too low. Now if the washing machine were to leak or etc, why would the washing machine companies insurance pay for the damage? Tim |

The reason I was curious is because the new washer from Sears are "self clean". They have NO LINT TRAPS!!! My mom had a clog in her pipes because the lint sent down the drain. I am nervous that our pipes may get clogged and since it flows through the house. |

I guess that was the hot & cold water lines? No problems with the line out to the sewers right? |

On a side note: I heard it was a good energy savings to put the foam around the hot water lines...don't know about the cold lines. Would Mattamy do this for lines in the walls before closing things up? Tim |

Catherine B. wrote: For us, we were told no drain because it would take away head room from the garage. They also said the manufacturers of any washers that leak will take care of the damage.... Don't know if that is true though.....
That about sums it up...for us it would be taking the headroom away in the enterance of the house. Tim |

In our westmoreland we moved the laundry upstairs into the linen closet. Worked perfectly. However we were told that they could not put in a drain without a large bulkhead in the kitchen area. |
