Need advice with laundry room remodel

[BradM]

I need a second bathroom in my house and want to put it in my laundry room/mud room. Is there any way to add bathroom plumbing into a slab floor that is loaded with a continuous radiant PEX heating loop, without destroying the entire slab and heating system on this level?

Back drain/ rear discharge toilet? Maybe get high-end and do a wall-mounted toilet. A floor mounted rear exit toilet is going to be cheaper than wall mounted. Wall mounted is not only higher status, it makes cleaning the floor much easier.

Thanks. Wall where toilet would go backs to an unheated garage on slab. Where does waste get from wall to waste pipe from?

(Wall is 2x4)

Does this mean I can't add the bathroom at all?

You have an unusual way about you.

Not if you thought you could break open the slab, you need to get a Sanifo toilet system

Doesn't saniflo have to go into the floor somewhere?

I looked up some of the sani flos and i see they macerate and can go to the side, and take other plumbing, that will help situation (tho not sure where to plumb it to). More research, do you have experience with these, do they work, are there any that aren't crazy loud (per reviews), is saniflo best brand for this, is there a reliable model you can recommend, do the motors break often?. thank you.

I have and have installed a number of Saniflo systems. The toilet is bolted to the floor and requires two 1/2" holes drilled a couple inches deep. I can give you detailed info on anything Saniflo. But, your problem is you cannot safely do anything to the floor. Lots of things to overcome but can be done starting with a raised floor.
