Currently working on a basement remodel. There is a shower on the floor above and it's trap sticks down below the floor joist - it's an old house with 2x6 floor joists. Immediately after the trap it exits above a partition wall and into a crawl space before joining the main stack. I've tried my best to draw it in the first attached image.
Originally the plan was to box out that trap in the basement but it's directly above a bathtub/shower combo. Before I do that, I was wondering if it's possible to add a 90 and short run before the trap - essentially offset the trap. If that's possible, it would eliminate the need to box around it and the trap would end up in the crawlspace portion.
I've tried to sketch out the basic idea in the second attached image.
With the exception of possible snaking issue later, can something like this be done?
