I've been finishing my basement, gutted completely, installing a new french drain system ( drain tile ) and new sump pit.

 

I'll be adding a bathroom, shower, sink and laundry drainage.

 

 

The bathroom will be pretty much over the main drain pipe under the slab, and the laundry might be something like 15 feet or so away.

 

I've currently got a cast iron stand pipe, which i'd like to update to PVC while im at it.

 

 

So basically im looking for somebody ( must be extremely knowledgeable on plumbing, if not a pro ) to ' guide ' me along. I'll be doing all the work myself. All the digging, excavating, running the pipe. Just need to consult somebody who knows more then me as far as what's acceptable connections, if vent stacks need to be added, traps, etc etc etc.

 

I'll be pulling a permit for adding the bathroom, so must be up to code.

 

 

I'll pay you for your time, as a consultant, as long as the fee is reasonable.

 

Location Woodbridge NJ

 

Anybody interested?

Brisco, on this forum is a fantastic plumber in your area.

I'd wait for the licensed plummer to respond, but I have a basement I finished but didn't do a bathroom at the time. I may add one down the road but I was also looking at Up-Flush Toilets and they have similar units for Showers. These are made for locations where the install is below the main waste line. The price wasn't out of this world and I do believe that Vent stacks were not a requirement witch added to the appeal for me being I have no easily accessible lines to tap into and running a new on through 2 stories and the attic weren't on my wish list of things to do.

 

Just other options to think about.

 

As far as the actual requirements, I believe if you have enough room the for the waste line to have the appropriate drop per foot on your run, you should be good. That and Vent lines with a traditional style bathroom. Tapping into a cast line if you don't want to replace is made easy with a lot of the adapters that are out there today. One other thing is I think you will also need to have all 12-2 wire in the bathroom and on a GFI circuit at the breaker panel not just a GFI receptacle.

 

Note none of this is from a licensed Plummer & Electrician, I am not, but I think that would keep you with in code, at least an idea from someone until a real plummer chimes in.
