Plumbing Bathrooms

Considering adding a shower or a full bath

7 years ago

My house has a small laundry/ utility room in the back of a rec room ( converted from a garage) I was considering adding a small bathroom or just a shower for my fiancé for cleaning up after work. Is it possible to tap into the same plumbing from the washer? Is this a bit far fetched?

Depends on how much money you want to spend to jackhammer the concrete all the way to the main drain in order to install the much larger pipes that will be required. It can’t be done without increasing the drain size all the way back to that main drain.
