Elevate your laundry room – literally!

So, you’re tired of lugging your dirty clothes and linens to a laundry on the main floor or, worse, in the basement, and want the convenience of a laundry room located closer to the bathroom and bedrooms? We don’t blame you!



The hassle of carrying a heavy laundry basket up and down the stairs each laundry day is a detested chore, especially for older homeowners. Demand for a laundry on the second floor is a growing trend, and one that is easy to accommodate with new home construction, but what do you do if you own an older home with laundry facilities in the basement?
When it comes to home renovations, the laundry room is often neglected because homeowners worry about the cost and construction that would be involved to excavate the floor and route new pipes. Traditional plumbing might require you to locate a laundry room renovation close to a bathroom with a pre-existing plumbing rough in. These challenges can simply be avoided by using an above-floor plumbing system, which makes it possible to install a laundry room anywhere in your home that is convenient for your lifestyle.
Whether your dream location is the mudroom, an unused closet or a spare bedroom on the second floor, the SANISWIFT® drain-water pump from SANIFLO® allows you to put a laundry room virtually anywhere. The unit connects indirectly to a washing machine and/or directly to a sink or shower, and the compact, contemporary design of the SANISWIFT allows it to easily fit under the sink or within a cabinet. This powerful unit is clean, reliable and virtually maintenance-free!
With above-floor plumbing, there is no need to break up the concrete floor or cut into the walls because these systems can be installed on top of any finished floor surface. All you need is a water connection and an electrical supply. Spared the expense and hassle of extensive construction work to install conventional drain lines, you can get the laundry room you want, no matter the layout of your home.
We’re not saying that you’ll learn to love doing laundry but, when your washer and dryer are more conveniently located for your family and lifestyle, laundry day becomes much more manageable.
