    The wc waste is generally 100 dia whereas the floor/shower waste may be as small as 50 mm as the volume and rate of water flushing is higher than from a single tap.

    The best is to hire any residential plumbing service providers to do such stuff. Here are the steps to move the toilet to another place.

    • Hire a plumber with snake scope. It will help you to find out the path of the plumbing through the video monitor.

    • Get a jackhammer to cut the tile or wall that you want to cut

    • Then move the plumbing where you want to and fill the part of the slab you cut out.

    • Remember that, once you remove the toilet, the sewer gasses can come up through the open pipe.

    • Also. keep the debris out of the drain to avoid the clogging.
    The common challenges faced with the toilet movement are with the
    • water supply to the new location
    • moving the drainage system

    Further to the above. You can get a plumbing diagram for your house from Reese. Cost me $32 or something. Will give you a good guide for sewer pipes.

    You can also get a cheap video snake for about $80. I paid $69 for mine, and its not bad at all.

    Toilet gases are easily stopped by wrapping a decent plastic bag around it, until ready to connect amenities.

    Blockbuster Video, there's still a couple around I think. Anaconda is my favorite video snake, the special effects are hilarious.

    What a diverse store Aldi is. I went in to get some frozen food and came out with a scuba diving kit and wall oven.
