Hey everyone. I have a question but I don't have many details so I'm
only looking for a general idea as to what this project is going to be
like. I am considering adding a second bathroom to an investment
property of mine. It's on a slab built in 1964. I'm wondering about the
plumbing part of this project. Is it difficult (expensive) to add a
bathroom on a house with a slab as opposed to a crawl. I'm going to use
existing floor space(utility room). Also, I will hire a plumber, I'm
just wanting some general information about this. Does the slab have to
be disturbed, or can the existing plumbing be "tapped" into? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

If the utility room already has a drain and vent for another plumbing
device, the project is simple, but will still require a saw cut and
break out of the slab. If you do not have a drain and vent in the
utility room, the project may get more complicated in the process of
installing same. Your plumber can size up the situation in a flash.
