Moving a floor drain in concrete.

I needed to move the drain about 2 inches and the hole i chipped out ended up over 1 foot across. I moved my shower drain that is located in a concrete floor. Make sure you do not have any leaks. Much of the work should be the similar for moving a toilet just on a bigger scale.

Turn on the shut off valve. This often requires moving a drain connection that penetrates a concrete floor. Moving the shower and laundry will entail cutting up the concrete slab at the new locations and extending trenches in the concrete far enough to tie into the existing drain pipes. Many bathroom remodeling jobs involve moving or replacing the shower stall.

This leaves the shower drain under the concrete slab. This normally involves using a concrete saw a jack hammer and disposal of the concrete broken up and removed. The concrete was only a few inches thick. During the construction process plumbers lay out the drain system in dirt covered trenches before the cement workers pour the concrete slab.
