    Gray water drain from washing machine
    The drain from my washing machine runs under the cement floor of the garage and it no longer drains. There is a spout drain in the garage, can it be routed outside and connected to the septic drain? I have city septic.

    Please explain how the "spout drain" works. Where does the washer drain terminate? At this spout?
    can it be routed outside
    From where? More details please. Tom

    Actually, Tom, in his opening post he said "septic drain, and I have city septic". That is conflicting information to me too. Either he is on a private septic, or a city sewer. Not sure which? I suppose it could be a city septic tank, but that must be one huge tank and drain field, or a really small city,,

    Hey Brian and Dad,
    To me it simply means he subtitled the word "septic" for "sewer". City means just that, Ya want it put another way. He said,
    I have city septic.
    Simply add the word, "system" and you have it. Cheers, Tom
