Hey Jeff, would you be willing to do a video on installing a basement bath / half bath where you'd have to break into the concrete and search for pipe?
We are not doing our house by ourselves. We have a contractor. But you are priceless to us as you are educating me as to what to expect and inspect. Without your teachings I would be unaware as to what is happening to our house. I am so grateful. If we were about 15 years younger, we would do this stuff ourselves, with you as our coach. Thank you for what you share with us all.
Cheers Marti, happy to be of some help!
I've been looking for a video like this for years and have the wizard beard to prove it. The notion of having to move piping what prevented me from tackling this project.
Thank you for your help Jeff! Im working on my Moms bathrooms, and couldnt have done it without your help. Again thank you, and God bless
I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, as I'm about to tile a shower, and I've been watching those repeatedly to soak up wisdom. What I like best is that you don't make this look "easy," you make it "accessible."
Keep up the good work!
Wow, thank you!
How did the shower turn out?
@@nickv3674 LOL I'm only half way finished. I put it on the back burner to focus on warm weather projects.
YAY!!!!!!! 1 Million! CONGRATS Jeff!!!!
Cheers Joe!
Congrats on the 1 mil man!
Cheers Mustafa!
Be sure to show us all that play button that UA-cam is sending you..
Congrats ! 👌👍
I have tried to find the ridged Base (Is it Styrofoam?) Who makes it or how did you make it. Thank you...
Do you need a p-trap for the shower drain?
Hey brother can u do basement wiring vid (how to add outlets and things like that)
We made a basement bathroom from scratch in our old house, it turned out much nicer than we thought it would! Basement bathrooms are such a fun reno project because if it isn't used as a main bathroom it doesn't feel like it's too much pressure to make it perfect :)
A great place to get your feet wet in new areas of construction for sure!
Congratulations on 1 million bud love your content,
Cheers!
Jeff, - what is the name of the white foam board used as the underlay?
5:30 you are suppose to wet the cement before applying thinset mortar so that concrete dose not suck all the moisture out of the mortar. But good example none the less.
I know this video is a little old but hopefully this gets a reply. We have a tile shower with the drain in the center, we are trying to convert it into a bathtub. We are currently on a concrete slab flooring and we're trying to avoid cutting into the slab. Can we reroute as shown in the video but to move the drain closer to the wall where your typical drain is in the tub. Is it possible raising the tub height high enough utilizing a "box with bracing" to relocate the drain?
Hey Jeff, love your videos, I've gotten a lot of help from them on some drywall and HVAC fixes. I'm researching tackling finishing my basement, and I have a rough-in bathroom which is a bit intimidating. I'd love a deeper dive on this particular video, with the building a custom shower and everything, but looking through your videos on basements and bathrooms, I'm not seeing much else like this - lots of renovations, few situations with new builds from a rough-in. Is there a deep dive on this somewhere that I'm missing? If not, would love to see one from you to break this down the way that you have some of the other concerns in finishing a basement. Keep up the great work!
The more I learn, so I could use the same idea to not cut into my basement floor, just add plumbing and a floor like that to add a corner hot tub, nice
Thanks for all the great ideas options my friend
Sounds great!
Great video! However, how can I use this system with a shower insert instead of tiling ? Is this possible ?
Great video! Hope you’re staying safe and healthy! I just did the same in another basement bathroom! Great flange to use until you know exactly the height of your tile floor
Great idea to raise the floor of shower instead of breaking cement and digging down.
Absolutely! saves almost 2 days of extra work!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY 2 days? Lol. I just did mine in like 3 hours.
Jack hammer. Couple fittings. Put the rock/sand under the slab back in place.
Bag of quick set concrete. Done. Drop a tub/shower in place a few hours later.
cpt awesome “dropping” a tub or shower isn’t the same as a finished tile floor like what he’s going to do. You can’t tile the same day you do concrete work.
Awesome. The correct way to install a basement shareware.
Absolutely!
Great advice as always. Love this idea its so much easier then digging out the concrete.
Glad it was helpful!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY where did you get the rigid foam? I have been asking at Home Depot and HH but can't find that same product. I need it for my project! :)
@@dkh1976 Did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same boat, can't find it
Hi, I'm also looking for rigid foam, if you guys have any clue, please help me out.
We are finishing our basement and I think the builders forgot to rough in a shower drain 🤦🏻♂️. Any advice? The hot/cold lines are roughed in so they had mostly roughed it in for a full bath but it doesn’t seem to have the shower drain. Your videos have helped me out with everything!
Can you do this to move a bathtub drain in a second floor bathroom? I currently have a standard shower/tub combo but there is a soaking tub I want. Only problem is the drain is the middle of the tub- toward the back wall.
How thick is the rigid base?? Thank you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Do you have any information on the rigid foam base that you used in the video? Thank you
Thanks for your video. To relocate the shower drain by using that Schluter shower drain system, will the shower floor level be elevated from the old drain level? If so, how much higher? We are planning to convert a tub to a shower in an apartment building. The strata bylaws do not allow moving any plumbing drains that are embedded in concrete and the concrete floor cannot be disturbed. Can we use this Schluter product to resolve the issue?
Amazing video.
I have a subfloor in my basement's bathroom, including the shower area. Should I cut the toilet drain pipe down to the level of the subfloor?
Does anyone know what product the foam base is? Thanks!
One million subscribers!
Woot Woot!
Can I use durospan 250 in place of the compensation foam? Doesnt seem to be available anywhere …
Another amazing video!! Thanks Jeff🙏
I hpoe this helps solve some problems for people. cheers!
was that shower drain pipe running uphill? didnt look like there was pitched correctly. also toilet flange always sits on finished floor
just the angle of the pie not square in the area. it was def uphill. and no the toilet flange does not get installed on finished flooring.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Maybe there's confusion because the closet flange manufacturers' instructions show it on the finished floor: ua-cam.com/video/nbpltrXG5kg/v-deo.html
I just saw this after I literally just got done putting in the vinyl plank floor. Do I really need to take it back up to install the toilette flange
no, the bottom of a flange is designed to sit on top of a finished floor. This guy is giving some mediocre to bad plumbing advice.
How do you know there’s a p-trap under there?
Just the video I was looking for finally.
I've been following for a while, and even if I don't feel super confident doing much renovation stuff myself just yet, I'm learning so much about how homes are built which gives me a much better idea of what I can expect down the line when I do eventually start renovating, so thank you!
With that said, do you have any videos about (polished) concrete flooring, particularly for bathrooms/wet rooms? Good idea/bad idea?
Jeff are there any instances where installing a P trap for shower plumbing sink neccessary? Does a saniflo up-flow system require a trap at the shower?
Infomercial, man this is great!!
Could you share the next step to finish this tile shower base? I searched all your videos but didn't find any how to tile a shower base.
What is the name of the styrofoam solid base product you used?
Foam as a substrate for the tile and mortar? Is this the generic white packing foam that sags and tears apart really easily, or is it something kind of specialized product designed for substrate, but that just looks like generic white foam? I can't imagine the floor not deflecting and denting over time...
it kindof looks like the pipe going to the schluter drain is sloping towards the drain rather than away?
it was traveling left to right as well as up. Cheers!
It definitely looked like back fall but could be wrong.
@@jordanbell1933 noticed the same thing. I thought when Jeff filled it with the sand mix he'd raise it up and pack it under so it sloped away. Might just be our angle.
Wicked stuff! Can you use that floor board and custom drain for bathtub drain relocation too? Would it hold a tub? In that case, what would you do for a basement bathtub that drain doesn't line up?
Hey Jeff, Love the video its super helpful for my own unfinished basement bathroom, I just had a question about the venting. I dont see any existing vent stack in the unfinished room. If it was roughed in when the house was built is it safe to assume that i can just add the toilet and vanity and it will be properly vented or will i need to add a vent for each?
i have the same question. The builder should have set it up to wet vent but i'm not sure if you need a vent pipe that goes all the way up
About how many inches of headroom do you lose with this method? Our shower drain rough-in is under some ductwork that will make for a very low ceiling, so every inch is precious, but it would be nice not to have to break up the slab to move the drain if we can avoid it.
You are a good man Jeff Thorman! I wonder if the fiance would trust me to do this in our only bathroom with a shower...with only my conscience and a Canadian as my guide.
sounds risky. roll a 7. Cheers!
What kind of elbow did you use? I have 2 inch drain pipe and even looking at the vent dwv vent 90 deg elbows the height of them is 3.75 which would stick above the 3.5 inch compensation board if mounted with the vertical hub flush with the concrete.
Once you have that 1st layer of shrewder product down. There is a another product you can add on top that already has the slope built into it. So no uneven slopes. It comes in 4 pieces and has been available for the DIY user for sometime.
What is it's name ? Please share any link if you can. Thanks
Thank you sir. I have learned a lot from your great video. Thank you again👍
You are very welcome, Cheers Adam!
Hi there from Niagara! My husband and I have been watching so many of your bathroom videos recently - thank you for the informative and straight forward videos! Can you settle a debate between us - I think Kerdi board is the way to go in our shower, but he wants to do blue board and Red guard. We have a marble composite shower pan. Any thoughts? Thanks :)
both will work, kerdi is better. Cheers!
Thank you for the vid
Can you off set the drain so that is not completely centered? I have to bump out the back wall just a bit because of the water pipes, I have a left drain and didn't want to break up the concrete to move and this system seems perfect for what I need.
If you have a room with a concrete floor but there is no rough-in plumbing, how would you go about adding rough-in plumbing? Or is this just a really a bad idea?
Excellent video.
Glad you liked it!
What type of foam is this and where can I get this?
HI Jeff!Can we move center drain rough in for right hand bath tub the same way?Does Bath tub has space bet ween floor and tub ?
Hey Jeff, I have a septic and well. How do I know if I need a pump for the toilet in the basement?
If so, does it change the toilet install? Thank you sir. Appreciate the support you showed to Texas.
That's cool some high tech styro foam on the shower
I love it when the manufacturer comes up with solutions!
Home RenoVision DIY , dear sir , just wondering , the styro foam used for the base , does it come as part of a kit for this system , if yes great , if not is there a specific styro foam we should be using , thank you so much for all your help .
With the shower drain, is there a P trap below the floor? If not is there not a worry of sewer gases?
p-trap should already be installed in the concrete for the shower and sink
Where is the "P" trap? Great video.
Love your videos, and they’ve been a great help? Just wondering, does the toilet flange also have to be screwed into the concrete? Thanks!
We are interested in relocating our shower drain like you showed in the video. However, we're not planning on tiling the shower. We're thinking of using a shower pan with an alcove wall panel set for the shower. I'm having a hard time visualizing how the method shown in the video would work with a shower pan. How would that setup work? Would we still have that schluter block in front of, or as you step onto the shower pan?
did you figure out your set-up? we are looking at doing the same thing?
i have the same question. I'd like to not dig in the concrete and also would like to use a simple shower set. This method looks like you need to do tile
Who makes the best shower valve ?
Would it be better to use the membrane or the board for the standup shower, also what is the white board called and where can I buy that
Do you need a p trap when using that drain kit?
Nice video!
What about the P- trap for the shower. ?
Wherever I see easy I’m a sucker and I click on it
Thanks , I hope this helped!
😂👍🏼🤙
Thank you master .
You are very welcome, Cheers!
What is the rigid foam base you are using for the floor?
I lay my tiles first then glue the flange it probably depend if you install vinyl
What is the white base stuff called?
Can you please do a video on how to install an access door for your shower plumbing? I have no way to get to my plumbing and I'd like to know how to make a door or a panel. I need to cut a hole in my wall but scared to do so until I know how to cover that.
I need to install a bath in my basement but don't have any rough ins. IS the saniflow the way to go in that case?
always a great option.
Installing a Jet Tub in a basement wash room. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? Good or Bad idea? Thanks.
You doing for me in my house? Great idea!!!😂
Is there any reason to tear down a mobile home and build a stick house?
I have a washroom on first floor which shares a wall with my neighbor. I want to replace the builder grade walk-in shower to a glass shower. The problem is currently the shower is on the opposite side is the shared wall. When I plan to replace with a glace shower I have to move the shower to the shared wall.
The question is can I open the dry wall of the shared wall to reroute the pipes? Any advice is appreciated.
I’m pretty sure It’s really important to give the ABS a twist when gluing together. I thought you just couldn’t push-fit them together, because the twist actually does something to make them one on a molecular level. But take what I say with a grain of salt, because I’m not a plumber I just worked with a neighbour onetime.
But this was an excellent video! The fact that you did not have to break the concrete, in order to install a shower in the basement is pretty cool. I wonder if there’s a way to do that for toilet too?
Love you clases thanks
Can anyone tell me what is the name of the product at 5:45 is, please? The styrofoam-ish shower pan?
Great info on this video thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
What is the white box base you used for your shower. Is it just styrofoam?
I have re-installed green board around the tub, and purchased a glue-on tub surround... I just rolled on redguard - but now I dont know which adhesive will work with redguard and the polystyrene( i think) - and it has to be trowel-able... according to instructions. (And we don't have loctite in Canada?) I'm in BC> thank you!
we have lepage. Cheers!
So I can’t put a base on top of that ?
where do i find that foam base ?
Nice
Hey Jeff, congrats on 1 Million subs! Question: was that "sand mix" the same 4:1 mix used to make the dry mortar for a shower bed? And you just wetted it down more? thanks!
That is correct
Does the shower drain needs a p-trap ?
WHERE CAN I GET THE , COOL EXTENSION FOR MY SHOWER PLUMBING?
Greetings from down the road in Kingston, Jeff! Have you done any videos, or have any experience regarding building a basement bathroom where the drain pipe goes through the wall and not the floor? I guess the options are Saniflo toilet or sewage ejector. I have limestone beneath the slab, so that would make ejector more of a challenge, but not impossible. Any advice appreciated
Awesome!!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you not need atrap under the shower?
Hey Jeff, great video as always. What's the name of the styrofoam-looking material you use for the raised floor at 5:44?
the new schluter shower base. if you call a supplier they can verify the product code. sorry I am on holidays with no info
I am no expert but was wondering where is the P-trap for the shower in this video? Hope i can use this method
if you have a roughed in bathroom the P trap is under the slab. Cheers!
Thanks Jeff,
I am about to do a basement shower in Ajax and this approach would be great. Too bad you're not filming here.
Question: Are there similar options to offset a toilet from the rough in? My rough in is too close to the shower.
only about 1" . you could always use the saniflo toilet and set it anywhere.
What about the sink?
Can’t find the shower base anywhere
Does the shower drain pipe need a gooseneck joint to prevent sewer gases and what about the vent pipe?
When the builder does the rough in the P trap is already present under the slab and the vent pipe is already connected as well. Cheers!
Looks like you didn't check for the slope in the shower drain once it was installed. You probably did by eye, but for us less experienced that could be an important step. Also if the wall is accidentally punctured during the sand mix step is it a good idea to put a screw in that you used earlier on the wall or it is unnecessary as it will be covered by an other sheet of material later?
if you cut the pipe coming out of the floor at 3/4" and you set the flange on top of the styrofoam it will automatically give you a perfect slope. Cheers!
