    Utility sink in bassement
    I have just a washer and dryer in the basement and I would like to install a utility sink. How do you drain the sink properly. I am pretty handy and would like to try to do myself.

    You may tee off the washer vent and connect the utility sink trap back to it.
    This will provide a vent as well as a drain. Good luck, Tom
