I would like to know if the drain on the washing machine is large enough to handle the addition of a toilet, shower and tub?
The drain in question is on the exterior wall. I can access the drain by busting the slab, and tapping in to the drain. Oh yea, I have a septic system, and this drain is the last drop off the the main trunk line. This wash room is to be inlarged in the addition.
Thank in advance for any information. Jeff

Tie in the branch line from the addition with a sanitary tee into the main line to your tank. There is usually only one knockout hole for a main drainline into a septic tank, and believe me, you don't want to try to knock a new one through your concrete tank where one isn't supposed to be.

I think that I understand what you are saying. The main line between the tank and the start of the slab? This is where I need the sanitary Tee? Do I have to worry about setteling of the addition slab, and the line breaking? Thanks again for aal your help!
