I am trying to put in a bathroom on the third fllor of my town home. The home attached tyo mine has a third floor bathroom. I want to know where I can find the pipes to start the project

You are assuming the builder actually ran pipes to the third floor on yours. I'll be they didn't because of the cost involved if they were not going to be used. That is time, labor and materials that are essentually wasted which is lost profit.

I'll give you 99.99% odds you will have to pay a plumber to extend them, the drains and waste stack AND vents. Plus people to repair the walls the pipes will have to run in.

Hi all...

Yeah, Mikedix, Smoothy's right here. Very unlikely that the plumbers/contractors extended pipes from beyond the 2nd floor bathroom so I'm figuring that will be the place you want to start looking for ways to connect into the plumbing in the house.

Obviously, the highest pipes at the 2nd floor bathroom will be at the sink... figure on extending these as risers to the 3rd floor.

Depending on the plumbing in your house and the number of bathrooms in the house, AND not knowing exactly what you plan for the 3rd floor bathroom I also want to mention that you may actually need to run a devoted pair of water pipes from the basement up to the 3rd floor so you can get the best volume and pressure to that new tub/showerr/jacuzzi (?) and still maintain volume/pressure to the other fixtures in the house.

Finally, you haven't mentioned the waste and vent piping? Is it possible that these pipes are in place? If these pipes are in place on the 3rd floor then, most likely, you will find the water pipes running parallel to the waste/vent stack feeding the 3rd floor bathroom. If no pipes upstairs you want to pop back and let us know more here so we can discuss the waste and vent piping requirements for a 3rd floor bathroom... could be more complicated than you might think!

Back to you...
