Go to the library or a HI store like Lowe's or Home Depot. They have plumbing books like the Black & Decker guides. These and others show a basement bath that has been plumbed from rough-in to...

Gary gave some great advice on consulting a pro. A basment bathroom
especially with drains under the slab, is often outside the realm of a DIY project. Too many variables. You should also get...

That sounds about par.

If you realy don't want to DIY something, this would be a good one to have the pros handle.

Your back will love you for it!:D

Good luck.

I don't think your plumber did you any favors with the refer water install (as you describe) and now you have the consequences to show for it!

You can not use a sanitary tee as a drain fitting in a horizonatal run of pipe. You must use a Wye instead. Setting a tee on its back is not...

Are we to understand that your main drain exits through the wall?

If that is the case, you will need an ejector pump for your fixtures.

Both sink and toilet need to be vented. The distance from...

Unless you have a few feet to excavate, it will be a HARD job, physically speaking. And if that is the case, a jackhammer is the best way to do it yourself. Or you could hire a concrete-cutting...

Yes, by all means get an expert opinion.

If you goof up, you'll have to tear open the floor again. Worse yet, the system will not work properly and that'll be a nightmare in and of itself.

You...
