    Its hard to say. Im going to take a leap and say the floor is cement at this time? Do you know if it is a counterbalanced slab? How close is the nearest sewer line?

    As Bob has asked, "where's the nearest sewer?"
    After you find it you will Wye or Combo Off the sewer line and bring it up to the slab.
    And here's the rest should go down. (see image)'
    Good luck on your project. Tom

    Califdadof3, Tom is telepathic and knew I would be here shortly to ask that same question, where is the nearest sewer line. KKT4969, you do know this will require jack hammering some floor out of the garage and you will need to plan your slope to the nearest sewer connection point. 1/8" p/f for 4" drain and 1/4" p/f for anything less than 4".

    Ok, now it makes sense. For a minute there I thought I grew a new nickname :)
