I have a bathroom with the following showed drain lines in it (attached image), it can be a full bathroom in the basement. My problem is and I hope someone can help me is,
I don't know where the toilet drain goes because I just bought the house, the shower drain shown on the left drains really slow and looks to be filled with rusty pieces. I have removed the shower drain and hope that I can put a sink over the area and drain it to it from a trap in the sink.
I don't know what the other pipes are for but I assume that the one on the right front of the picture is the vent, there is another pipe coming out in the back right corner of the picture that I don't know what it is.
The biggest problem that I have is I have put a 25' electrical snake down the toilet drain and I can't find where it would come out the other side, 25' may not be long enough but the other problem is the main sewage for the house is 2' above this plumbing in the basement concrete floor.
Questions:
1. How do I find where the toilet will drain and if it goes into a holding tank and needs to be pumped out?
2. The shower drain, what can I do to make it drain faster or at all?
