How do I reinforce the floor to avoid additional structural damage caused by front load washer?
I believe the vibration from the new front load washer has caused problems in my home addition/remodel. The tiles in the laundry room are cracking, the taped joint (wall & ceiling joint) in the kitchen (shared wall with new laundry room) is coming down, there is a crack on the wall above the door and the door no longer closes.
The vibration can be felt in many places in the house, not even close to the laundry room.
In addition to reducing the vibration source, I want/need to reinforce the floor since some vibration from both the washer & dryer will still exist. How do I do this?
