Hi,
Like many, I'm a little lost when it comes to DWV design for a basement bathroom reno.
The good news is that I appear to have a drain and a stack nearby to where the bathroom needs to be. The bad news is there's a concrete wall between the proposed site and the drain (see picture). I can't/don't want to punch large holes in the concrete wall as it's a load bearing wall with footings -- the house was added to over time.
My question, based on the picture, is whether I should go "around the corner" to the visible drain and dig there, or tie-in to the drain at a nearby floor drain.
I also wonder if I should locate the toilet so that it's got "line of sight" to the drain and then the other fixtures feed into that line.
Appreciate any advice. I'm in Ontario, Canada for reference. Thanks!
