http://karnaintrack.blogspot.com - Ah, the commode. The privy. The john. The can. And my Aussie friend's "favorite" word for the toilet: the potty. Can you move it? Yes!

As my plumber likes to say, "You can move any plumbing you want . . . for a price."

When we decided to fit our basement bathroom remodel into our budget, I was nervous to show my plumber my idea to move the toilet. He snapped his fingers and said, "I can chip up concrete like that!" I was thrilled! But moving a toilet isn't always that easy. And there's a way to get remodeling ideas without breaking the bank. Even with ideas for small bathrooms, moving the toilet is possible.

With moving toilets, you need to find out the direction of the floor joists, where the plumbing vents are located, and how much of the walls and ceiling under the toilet you are tearing out before the moving cost can be added up. How to move a toilet in bathroom, moving a toilet drain, and the diy of the toilet location requires planning!

Here are some guidelines that makes moving a toilet easier and less expensive:
1. An unfinished area beneath the bathroom, or you can afford to tear open the ceiling beneath.
2. Movement is in the same direction of the floor joists the toilet will sit on.
3. New location is within 4' of the plumbing stack venting.
4. Bathroom wall will be exposed for running new clean water line to new location.
5. Movement less than 8-10 feet in main floor or 2nd story so that pipe slope is inside floor joists.

The toilet is probably the hardest thing to move in a bathroom. In my next post, I'll talk about moving showers and tubs.
