I would like to install a half bath off my kitchen/laundry room. In Texas my house is built on a slab. So my options are break into the concrete.
When I did some demo work I discovered that the main drain is right where we want to install the toilet.
In the photo the line from the left comes from the kitchen sink/dishwasher and such, the line from the right comes from the washing machine/laundry room.
I'm wondering what other options I may have?
I've heated about upflush toilets but don't know much. Some also mentioned building a platform and tying into the main line just above the floor. Others have mentioned venting the pipe and other issues. I don't think this is a project I will take on myself but I want to be fully informed when I talk to plumbers/contractors about it. Then again maybe I will?!
