Well,3 inch pipe grades at 1/4 of a inch per foot (code).There is an s-trap installed for the shower and it is actually illegal.Venting is required for plumbing systems for proper drainage and also to prevent syphonage when other fixtures are draining.36 inch foundation would be the footer and not foundation.Washing machines are 11/2 fixture units and require a 11/2 half drain line with a 11/4 vent line.To the diy-plan out your job well and research as much as possible.Do it nice or twice.G.L.
