Hi-
I have a 1916 house in Pittsburgh. When it was built, the gutters drained into the house and under the basement floor through the clay pipe that runs to the sewer. We changed this when we moved in as it was a code violation, and capped the pipes. I am thinking of adding a second bathroom in the front of the house, which is on the opposite end from the stack. There is a capped clay pipe in the basement directly under where i would put the bathroom. Any issues with tying into that for waste? I have a straight shot down to it, and can vent out above the roof on the side of the house.
