    Plumbing on slab floor
    I want to install a toilet, shower and vanity on concrete floor. I have water but want to know the best way to proceed. Drill holes in concrete or build up the floor. This a steel building. This near the edge so I could dig under the slab.

    I have an rv dump or sewer next to my building and will hook into that.

    Thanks

    If you build up the floor you'll have room for your drains but where will they drain to? Drill holes to where, you need to reach a main drain. I think you need to bust up the floor of the room and a trench all the way to an existing drain.

Basement slab plumbing [ 9 Answers ]

I have a basement toilet. Currently, the drain is a 3" copper going into a cast iron fixture thru the slab. I think they jackhammered up the floor and attached into what used to be a floor drain, or some sort of similar drain - the hole isn't very big so I don't think they installed a T in the main...
