    Plumbing Shower drain into Existing Concrete

    My elderly aunt was just diagnosed with a medical condition, so she's moving in with me into my ADU (I've always planned on her moving in anyway, but the medical issue just made it sooner).

    Get sewer clean out caps flush after the fact

    Is there a part to get a cap (preferably metal) flush with patio surface? To fit the i.d. of the pipe? The couplings are not even glued, the concrete guys were just extremely lazy. I’d rather not demo concrete and patch. Not my project btw.

    Adding washing machine and tray to bathroom DWV

    Hi guys, I'm trying to tie a new laundry room into an existing bathroom on a raised slab. The copper supply lines (as well as cast iron drains) are all under concrete, so I'm going to cut them off and re-route them through the walls.
