[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like mine upstairs with the bedrooms. [/quote]

Same here.  It's awesome not to drag baskets everywhere.  Plus it's like a little workshop for my domestic projects and there is extra storage in there for medical stuff.  I love it.[/quote]

Except for the risk of a leak or overflow. I don’t love an upstairs laundry room for this reason, it can ruin most of your house if the washer overflows and there was inadequate draining. I knew a family who had to move out for 6 months while the house was repaired after such a leak.[/quote]

You can solve this by providing adequate draining? This is like saying you shouldn't have a bathroom upstairs because if you install the plumbing incorrectly, it could flood. Sorry that happened to that family but the problem was the bad installation, not the location.

If you have a finished basement, a main floor laundry presents the same risks anyway.[/quote]

A leaking machine is a bunch of water, many gallons, all at once, which can overwhelm a drain. A toilet or tub doesn't really do that unless intentionally left on for a very long time.[/quote]

It usually is the hoses that fail. Have those changed out when the manufacturer recommends and have water sensing alarms. [/quote]
