We're having a new home built and have asked the builder to provide the rough-in for a basement bathroom; in a year or so I'll be erecting interior walls in the basement area (2x4 walls spaced 1-1/2" off the interior poured foundation walls). Can any of the pros offer any tips on how to be sure the rough-in will be done in such a way as to eliminate the need to break out any of the concrete slab when the bathroom gets finished?
I *think* the main drain will exit below slab level, but am not sure how deep; there is plenty of room in the basement for an ejector pump setup if that's necessary.
A few things come to mind, such as ensuring we have a connection to an atmospheric vent available, taking pictures of the below-slab piping before the slab is poured, and making sure the plumber is aware of the future interior wall position so the drain/vent for the vanity will be in the correct place. What else am I missing? Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated!
