    how to move a bathtub drain in a concrete slab
    I have a 15'X15' addition on my house by the master bedroom. It is a concrete slab that is about 6 inches higher than the other floors. I want to convert it into my master bath. Is it possible to cut the concrete from the site of the tub, shower, and toilet , chip it out with a jack hammer all the way to the old locations of the same to conect the drains? Will this harm the structure or foundation? Since the addition is higher than the original I think it will drain well, and I have the space to re-vent each.

    Sounds like your on the right track. Breaking out the concrete is the only way to get your drains tied in, and will not hurt the structure. Good luck and let us know how it all goes.

I am installing a tub to existing plumbing, but it's on a concrete slab. We've jackhammered the concrete so that I have enough room underneath to put in the drain and p-trap, but am I going to have to buy the tub, set it in place, hook up the plumbing and then remove it to replace the concrete?
