Some prior owner moved the washer and dryer to a small room on the top floor. They put down red quarry tiles. Underneath is the original pine floor. I'd like to pull up the tiles and have the pine.
Now the washer is a front loader with a stainless steel drum. But there could still be a leak. What do others do? Is there a pan I could put underneath and add a sensor that shuts off the water if there is a leak? If I add the sensor without a pan the floor is sloping and it could leak a lot before it gets to the sensor. If there is a pan, how would one pull the washer out? As the back is not accessible, only by pulling it out can one balance it. Then there is the problem of pulling it out without scratching the floor. There must be others with their washer on a wood floor.
