What would be the best way to route the vent pipes and sewer lines under the slab.

Often the best path is thru the yard and around, rather than digging up your whole slab.

Thank you. Yes, I rather not rip up the tile and concrete foundation. I dug the 45 degree trench under the slab with a plan to install the new ABS at 45 degrees.
Does the WC need a vent if it's only about 5'?

Problem with the 45 degree trench for the WC and bathtub is, I still have to dig for the vanity.
I'm thinking digging a separate 45 degree trench for the vanity is going to be about a 8'-9' run under the slab.

Maybe I can use the existing trench to reach the vanity waste and vent? If I do, the vanity sewer line would be angled away from the street.

Usually the WC does not have its own vent, but gets wet-vented by something else -- usually the lavatory. Will your lavatory drainage be able to join the toilet piping before any non-bathroom stuff joins in?

You might make a roughly to scale sketch of where fixture drains are, what piping you don't want to change, and what piping exists that you expect to change. Include vent info.

Yes, it's possible. The drawings I uploaded are the site, floor plans and the elevation plans. Existing and proposed sewer lines. And four photos.

Can everyone view the documents and pictures I uploaded?
