First, tell us what kind of shower pan you plan on installing and what kind of base / floor it will sit on...

You do realize that you will have to jackhammer up the cement and cut a fitting into the main for a trap don't you? In addition to that the shower will have to have a vent run out the roof or revented back into a existing attic roof vent.
If you have a floor drain that's close to a wall I can save you a lot of hassle. Still want to install a basement shower? Regards, tom

Hi all

One other option to breaking into the concrete floor is to install a Saniflo system... or maybe just a sanishower... ;)

Check it out at www.saniflo.com (http://www.saniflo.com)

Let us know if we can help.
