Mr. Master,

Just some thoughts, because the builder in me can't help myself.

If this is a basement, I think you should put a floor drain in somewhere. Whether for the dog wash area, or the bathroom floor or both, just in case. Water based trap primers as great, for $50 plus some tubing you can do multiple floor drains, but also consider Sureseal. I have no experience with this product though. I can feel the plumbers stink eye on me while writing this.

Also, you said in your first post this is all going to a sump pump? I hope you mean an effluent pump. A normal sump pump won't handle the shit that goes down a toilet and shower. Let alone 2 of them. Plus, most sump basins aren't sealed. You don't want shit sitting in there and stinking up the place.

Sorry, have a sump pump for the waterproofing and a poo pump that is sealed for the sewer system.

Did my best to follow the plan.

Let me know if y'all see any issues.

Thank you

You either added a laundry sink or a stand pipe. the toilet is the only wet vented fixture, every other fixture has its own vent, so, I don't see any problems with it. I was trying to get you to offset your tub vents from the center of the tub so they didn't interfere with your shower valves.... Take the proper GRADE and FILL DIRT COMPACTION under your drains very serious because after the concrete is poured you can't fix it.

I added a sink. I tried to offset the vents the best I felt comfortable. I fully understand the proper need for compaction and I'm making sure it's tamped well.

I truly appreciate your help in making sure I didn't make a mistake!
