My home inspector suggested I put in a metal washer overflow pan in the laundry room. Where do I get this? Do they range in size? How do I know which one to get?? Thanks for any help!

Good luck, Tom

Home Depot sells plastic overflow catch pans for washer. They are quite inexpensive. Sheet metal pans are usually custom made and can be pricey.

Damm! 7 AM and already I'm confused. Since there's no water involved why in the world would any body want to install a combination washer and dryer pan such as Dripit's advertising.

Home Depot does have plastic ones for the WASHER ONLY and they are not made to last, they are breakable(as i know) and degrade in a couple of years - but no one has one for BOTH the Washer & Dryer as ONE PAN - except DRIPTITE and their pan is UNBREAKABLE and will probably last 20 years the way it is made.

Now I'm really confused! Driptite, (funny how his handle's the same as the article he's pushing) comes down on plastic washer pans yet Driptite pans are made of plastic. Very strange !! And Diptite, enough advertising. Cheers Tom

Most current front loading dryers now have steam option. It has a supply line for cold water. With that said, it would be safe to install a washer/dryer overflow pan :)
