Hello,
We are trying to install a bathroom in our finished basement and will be getting a plumber to do the work. (after we find the pipe) However, we have been trying to find the drain pipe that we will need to connect to (or run off from I guess) and have had no luck. We have jackhammered the slab and looked in areas where we figured it might run, but nothing. The city has nothing for us to look at that helps and the previous owner also has nothing. We tried contacting the company that did the plumbing but they are no longer at the information we got. Looking for a pipe under the floor is not fun and feeling quite lost as to where to look.
I am writing here for ANY ideas anyone might have on how to find this pipe so we can continue on with this. I am writing this as my dad has got me doing this work and its quite physically tiring ripping the slab and stuff and I just want to know what we should do to find this pipe! Sorry for the lack of information as I do not know anything about plumbing and just looking for some hope!.
*Also how deep do you think we should be digging?
Many Thanks!
Ed
Attached is a simple drawing of how the basement looks and I don't know if it helps or not.
