Frequently Asked Questions (Side-by-Side with Pedestals)
Are pedestals universal across brands?
No. Pedestals are brand and often model-specific. Always buy the compatible pedestal listed for your exact washer/dryer model and width (e.g., 27" or 29").
Do pedestals reduce vibration?
They don’t eliminate vibration; proper leveling, solid flooring, and the manufacturer’s anti-vibration features are key. Our installers can help fine-tune leveling.
Will a pedestal make my front-load doors too high under a counter?
Storage pedestals add height (~10–15"). Use low-profile risers—or skip the pedestal—if you have a fixed countertop clearance.
Can I add pedestals later?
Yes, in most cases. Units must be disconnected, lifted, and bolted to the pedestals. Verify model compatibility before purchasing.
Are top-load washers compatible with pedestals?
Generally, no, as raising a top-load too high can reduce reach to the tub.
Do pedestals affect hose/vent clearance?
They change the appliance height but not rear-clearance needs. Ensure adequate space for hoses, power, and venting after elevation.
