Moving utility room soil pipe

[Kriggi]

We're redoing our utility room to have a run across the wall of a washing machine on the left, tumble dryer in the middle and cupboard with sink above on the right. Unfortunately the existing soil pipe comes out of the floor exactly where we want to position the tumble dryer.

We need to move the soil pipe so it comes out of the floor 40cm to the right of where it currently is. How would people propose this is done? I'm assuming we'll need to dig up the floor, fit a 90 degree bend on the existing soil pipe, run a horizontal 110mm soil pipe with another 90 degree bend upwards to the new position and concrete this all in. Is this right, or are there easier options?

Many thanks in advance.

Chris.

Perhaps you could cap it and join the wastes inside at around 400-600mm up from floor behind a unit?

Then put a 40mm waste out through the wall and drop it down into the drain outside?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunately the drain isn't outside, the soil pipe runs under the floor into the garage and out to the driveway. :sad3:

Hi. Once under floor it becomes a drain, requiring a manhole at changes of direction. Not the easiest thing to achieve from what you describe. Why not site it over the washing machine? If nothing else it will save her back. Good Luck

can you cut the drain back and have the stub stack in the garage
