Renovating Laundries in Eaglemont Homes
In Eaglemont’s older homes, the laundry was often a separate washhouse or a room under the house on the lower side of the slope, reached by outside steps. In many homes it remains in a basement or lower level, sometimes damp and dark, and a long walk from bedrooms and the clothesline.
Laundry projects in Eaglemont often involve relocating the laundry closer to the main living level, waterproofing and ventilating lower-level laundries, adding tall cabinetry and folding benches, and building concealed laundries into hallways where space is short. Most laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from Banyule City Council, but plumbing and electrical changes are done by licensed trades with compliance certificates.

Before You Start
Planning an Eaglemont Laundry Renovation
Layout
Moving the Laundry Upstairs
Laundries in Eaglemont’s hillside homes are often under the house or in a lower-level room reached by stairs. Relocating to the main living level, perhaps into a hallway cupboard or beside the bathroom, saves carrying baskets up and down every week. The new drain needs enough fall to reach the sewer, which we check on site first.
Waterproofing
Damp Basement Laundries
If you keep the laundry downstairs, the room has to stay dry. Waterproofing the floor, drainage behind retaining walls and good ventilation stop moisture building up in an Eaglemont lower level. We look for the source of the damp before replacing cabinetry, so the new joinery is not damaged within a few years.
Heritage
External Vents in Heritage Areas
A dryer vent, exhaust fan or new window on the street side of an Eaglemont house in a Heritage Overlay may need approval. Ducting to a side or rear wall, or choosing a condenser or heat pump dryer, avoids most of these issues. We plan the details before anything is installed on the outside of the house.
Storage
Hallway Laundries
Where an Eaglemont period home has no room for a separate laundry, a European style laundry behind cupboard doors can hold stacked machines, a small trough and shelves. It needs a floor waste or safe tray, ventilation and its own power circuit. The joinery can be detailed with panels and handles that match the era of the house.
Outdoor
Drying on a Sloping Block
Finding a flat, sunny spot for a clothesline on a steep Eaglemont block can be hard. A fold-down line on a deck, a covered drying area near the laundry door or a heat pump dryer can solve it. We think about the path from the laundry to the line when planning where the new room goes.

Can we move our Eaglemont laundry from under the house?
Usually. A new laundry on the main level needs a water supply, a drain with enough fall to the sewer and ventilation. On hillside homes the drain may need to run under the floor or down the slope to connect. We check the plumbing route and any building permit requirements before designing the new room.
Does a laundry renovation need approval in an Eaglemont heritage area?
Work inside the house generally does not. Heritage Overlays in Eaglemont mostly control external changes, so new windows, vents or doors on visible walls can need a planning permit from Banyule City Council. We keep the changes inside wherever possible and check the controls for your property before work starts.
How do we fit a laundry into a small period home?
A cupboard laundry with stacked machines, a slim trough and overhead shelves can fit in roughly the width of a wardrobe. In Eaglemont’s interwar homes, a sleepout, an enclosed back porch or the end of a hallway are common spots. We measure the house and draw a few options before you decide.
Is it worth updating the laundry before leasing or selling in Eaglemont?
If the laundry sits in a damp lower level, buyers and tenants will notice musty smells and stained walls during inspections. Fixing the source of moisture, improving ventilation and adding basic storage usually matter more than new finishes. Relocating the laundry is a bigger job, so it generally suits owners staying in the home.
