So just start at the known point and work away from there digging and tracing to the main DWV line? Nate : A 16 pound sledge hammer and someone to operate it. Three blows will create the initial hole and you can work out from there. : : About to start a remodel project to convert an old basement 'WC/toilet stall' into a full bath. I'll need to break open the slab and re-plumb a bunch of the DWV system obviously for the new service/fittings/etc. : : Looking for advice on the best place to start breaking into the slab. I had planned to start close to the existing flange and work my way out little by little to the main line. : : I want to move quickly, but I also don't want to tear up more of the floor than needed. Any advice for the best course of action? : : Thanks, Nate
