Hi,
I'm finishing up the rough plumbing for a basement bathroom. Looking at the hole I've created, I'm getting nervous about how/if I can patch this. I want to tile over top of this, so I want to make sure things are absolutely solid. A couple of suggestions from reading forum posts, google, and talking to a plumber friend:
1. Fill hole with crushed rock. Then 1/2" drill horizontal through existing slab, and epoxy rebar, concrete over.
2. Fill hole with crushed rock. 1/2" rebar pounded vertically into the ground, in a 6" grid pattern. Concrete over.
I've attached some pictures of what I'm dealing with. Inspector has already taken a look at the DWV, and is happy with it. He wants 4" of concrete over top.
