FAQ

Can a shower or toilet drain be moved anywhere?

No. How far it can move depends on the floor type — wood joist or concrete slab —, the slope needed to reach the waste stack, and how close a vent is. A plumber needs to check all three before confirming a move is workable.

What's the difference between rough-in plumbing and finishing?

Rough-in covers the supply and drain lines run before the walls close, then inspected. Finishing is installing the fixtures — sink, toilet, faucets — once the tile is down. The two stages are usually weeks apart in the schedule.

Can the condo syndicate set conditions on plumbing work?

Yes, often. Anchoring into the structural floor, tying into a shared stack, or noisy work during certain hours can require notice or approval from the syndicate. We recommend checking the building's bylaws before locking in a start date.

Why does a wall-hung toilet cost more than a floor-mounted one?

Because it needs a carrier frame anchored to the structure, often extra blocking in the wall, and a thicker finished wall to hide it. A floor-mounted toilet connects straight onto an existing drain, with far less structural work.

Can a kitchen island have a sink without breaking up the slab?

Often yes, using a loop vent under the counter instead of a standard wall vent. Feasibility depends on the distance to the waste stack and the floor type; it's a question to raise before the kitchen layout is finalized, not after the cabinets are chosen.
