I attached an image of the current layout of my unfinished basement. I am hoping for some opinions on how to best plumb a full bathroom. If I should use a macerating toilet or if I should cut into the slab and run new plumbing.
For the attached image, this is the key to the items designated
green circle - this looks like a standard vent stack and as far as I can tell the only thing above it are a sink and a dishwasher. I need to fully document my entire layout but this is just preliminary. I am not sure where my upstairs bathrooms drain to.
The red circle appears to be cast iron and goes to the bathroom / laundry room in our sunken living room
the pink square is the water line into the house
the empty square is the location of the furnace and water heater
the black circle is the floor drain.
The giant X is where I would like to place the bathroom.
If I do this it will be my first foray into major plumbing and also cutting into a slab. I am not afraid of most house projects, I just want to know everything before attempting them.
How big of an undertaking is cutting through the slab and running the plumbing?
Thank you all for your help!
Randy
