I am remodeling a downstairs bathroom and want to relocate the shower and toilet drains covered in concrete. House was built in 1960 and has cast iron plumbing.
Is my routing assumption correct on how this would have been laid out when built? The vertical cast iron pipe to the left is the main drain from the house.
My plan is to cut out the concrete, excavate as needed, and install new toilet/shower drains with PVC. I will connect to the existing cast iron reducing "T" with new PVC piping from the new drains. Toilet drain is now 13"/22" from the walls, I will move this to 12"/15" . A new Schluter shower will be installed, enabling a larger shower than the 36"x36" unit that was there.
Any other advice before I break concrete?
