Washing machine installation in a basement

[tolzqyyj]

Hello,

I'm trying to install a washing machine in a basement room. The problem is that the waste outlet is about 150cm off the floor and goes directly outside to the drain at the same level. Will a washing machine on the floor with a non-return waste pipe be able to pump the waste water up to this level and safely outside the house? Or do I need a separate pump? Any ideas how much one would cost?
The other idea is to construct a platform about one metre off the floor and put the washing machine on top of that.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanking you in advance,
Elliott

I had a similar challenge installing a hairdressers sink in a cellar. The cheapest solution I came up with was to use a kitchen waste bin as a sump and put a sump pump in it with a float switch. Whole lot cost about £40 and has been working for over a year dispite having to deal with hair and nasty chemicals
