Follow up to sewer pipe
Thanks mark for the quick response.
For once I lucked out. The joist run the same way as the pipes so I do not have to cut into any of them. Will I be able to replace the existing 2' pipe where the shower currently is with a 3" and run it into the existing 3" where the toilet currently sits? Also will I be able to use this same 3" existing sewer pipe as the new drain for the shower or do I have to run and entirely new 2" pipe to the downstairs? I will get some pic's and post them next week for a follow up and allow you too see exactly what I have going on. Thanks Again! |

Hi niceguydad...
YUP.. should be able to connect onto existing 3" pipe for toilet and run that over for new toilet no problem. You will also have to watch the piping and distances with regard to venting...meaning you will need to run pipe to toilet and perhaps run 2" pipe back over to old toilet area to connect onto the toilet vent... Hard to say though without opening floor and posting a pic. For us... ;) As you go call the plumbing inspector in town and ask him if wet venting is allowed in your area... just tell him you are curious and want to discuss options with a friend. That will help me to advise you best here... ok? Also note that to respond to this thread you just need to click on the POST REPLY button at the upper left of this screen... that way all info. Stays as one post for all to follow. Tom, the senior man here will probably merge the posts anyway, but just so you know for next reply! Ask as many questions as you like here so I can find you easily. Every time you post to this thread I get notified... happened to stumble on this one just by chance! Let me know more... MARK |

I want to install a new tub and shower in my basement. The old shower in the basement drained through a pvc pipe that ran on top of the basement floor directly to our floor drain. I have excavated a channel from the proposed tub site to the sewer pipe running from the first floor toilet to the...
Hi my name is Michael and I am having a major issue with the sewer pipes in my house. The problem began this summer when the tub began to drain slowly. Although my house is in Milwaukee WI, it has no basement and is built on a slab. I tried chemicals, but didn't have any luck. Then I tried a...
Noticed a crack in the pipe that carries waste out to the sewer. It's about 13 or 14 " long and very thin possible an eighth of an inch. There doesn't seem to be any leakage. It's a large black pipe, I guess wrought iron. Part of it has been replaced with white PVC pipe but the last six or...
