Looking for help laying out a main floor bathroom that is about 9’x14’. It’s a corner fed room with a cabinet behind the door that is not seen in the drawing. There is a 24x48 window on the exterior wall on the top right. We were thinking of doing a walk in shower and a separate bathtub but are...

Not inside the house they are not. It’s possible the floor drain is connected to the septic then. If I had to guess, the floor drain has been plugged for a long time and they were perfectly fine with the clean out being used as it was still open. I appreciate all the responses. This site has...

I live in a rural area. In my last home, I was told the floor drains connect to the county field tile system and not the septic. This floor drain is much older than the septic as well and was firing it’s the same in this place. It’s across the farm field from my past home, it’s older than my...

Well it looks like the floor drain, specifically the trap is plugged real bad. Mostly sand, small pieces of concrete and chunks of debris. I tried a pistol style drain opener and nothing. The clean out is open and that’s how it’s still draining and that’s where all the sewer gas is coming from...

Septic was pumped two months ago. This floor drain isn’t connected to the septic. The septic exits the house about ten feet away and two feet up on the wall.

The tub doesn’t drain so well and I figured it was partly due to all the bends in the pipe. Doesn’t ever smell though. Neither the kitchen or the basement washer stand pipe are vented. I planned on putting an AAV in the kitchen though just haven’t got to it! I have not and do not plan to...

The house is a rambler, main floor and basement. This is a 1958 house so the kitchen sink isn’t vented now, nor do I believe it ever was and it works alright along with a dishwasher draining to it. I want to keep the basement laundry as well.

This is what i would like to do.

this is what I have.

I am adding main floor laundry to my house and am stuck on how to plumb it. My main floor consists of of a full bathroom, a powder room and a kitchen. The basement washer drains to a stand pipe at the floor but is not the lowest drain in the system. This is not directly vented but put in by a...
