Should a laundry room have a floor drain?

Floor Drain The 2017 IRC code does not specifically require floor drains to be installed in laundry rooms, but buildings often include them to provide for emergency drainage or to help with other drainage needs (e.g., relief valves, water heater drainage, condensate drainage, etc.).

nachi.org - Laundry Room Inspection Guide - InterNACHI House of Horrors

Do not use the term "dryer vent". Gas-fired clothes dryers are not "vented". They are exhausted. Clothes dryer exhausts systems must terminate to the exterior. The dyer must never exhaust into a crawlspace, attic, or other space regardless of whether the space is ventilated to the outdoors. A clothes dryer's exhaust duct must terminate outside and must be equipped with a backdraft damper. Screens are not permitted. The duct should terminate at least 3 feet from an building opening. Screws and fasteners are permitted to connect ducts, provided that the fasteners penetrate up to a maximum of 1/8 inch into the inside of the dryer exhaust duct. The ducts must be sealed with approved sealing tape or mastic. Exhaust ducts must be smooth inside. Ducts must be at least 4 inches in diameter. Ducts must be supported every 4 feet or less. The insert end of the duct should extend into the adjoining duct in the direction of airflow.

Transition duct must be less than 8 feet in length.

The maximum duct length is 35 feet (2017 IRC G2439.7.4). For every 4-inch 45-degree fitting used in the exhaust duct, 2 and 1/2 feet must be deducted from the total length maximum. For every 4-inch, 90-degree fitting, 5 feet must be deducted.
