Going from Plastic to Stainless: A Better Drain Pan System for a Washing Machine

Recently, we had the privilege of taking part in a washing machine drain pan swap right here in North Carolina. A family was nice enough to allow us into their home - more specifically their laundry room. We brought our cameras to film their original plastic washing machine drain pans being replaced with stainless steel drain pans from Killarney Metals. When the home was built and the washing machines and dryers were originally installed the contractor put in an inexpensive plastic liquid containment system for the laundry room. While the original system may have looked good, it had little staying power. Plastic drain pans will crack and break over time when they are affected by the environment in which they are placed. In a laundry room durability is key. Drain pans are often kicked, stepped on; the heat from the dryer and weight of the washing machine all impact the structure of the drain pan. This homeowner’s plastic drain pans had had enough. They were do

You need a solid, durable drain system that gives you the assurance of protection that stands the test of time and your eight year old throwing muddy cleats in from soccer practice. So, we had the opportunity to see this upgrade from plastic to stainless. Here is one of our quality, No Leak Guaranteed stainless washing machine drain pans.

With good planning the installation went smoothly. The installer measured out the appropriate dimensions for the pans and rearranged the discharge piping system to make it invisible from the front of the machines. Now that the new stainless drain pans are installed the homeowners are covered! If there’s an accidental leak or the washing machine over-flows, they know they will not have to replace their hardwood floors or basement ceilings or carpet or anything else that could get damaged in a spill!
