    Adding Bathroom
    Hi -

    I am interested in converting a bedroom into a bathroom. The house is a single story on a concrete slab. The room in question does not adjoin the exising bathroom or other plumbing, which is in a central core of the house. We have a septic tank. How expensive are we talking here? :o

    I am afraid it could be expensive. A bathroom group needs water supply lines, a drain, and a vent. If you back everything up against an interior wall, you could run a new vent up to the roof, but I see no alternative to cutting the floor to run the supply lines and drain. Post any more questions on plumbing under plumbing where our ace plumber will see and answer them.
