I am considering having a one bedroom, one bathroom addition built onto the back of my home. The addition is for my elderly mother, who will be moving in with me and my family so that we can care for her.
Can the drain pipe for the bathroom addition (toilet, shower, and sink) have any curves or turns, or is it preferable that the drain pipe be a straight run to the sewer line?
Based on where the addition would be built, I see only two options for running the drain pipe from the bathroom addition to the sewer line:
Thanks for the help!

Based on where the addition would be built, I see only two options for running the drain pipe from the bathroom addition to the sewer line:
- Under the concrete slab foundation. This option would allow a straight run for the drain pipe to the sewer line.
- Around the perimeter of the concrete slab foundation. This option would like require one or more sharp (90-degree) turns in the drain pipe based on the position where the addition would have to be build in relation to the property line.
Thanks for the help!
