My floor concrete slab how can i add a bathroom.

Hi we just bought a new house in la built in 60s and want to add on to the back to add a master bath. This is even more so the case if the property only has one full bathroom or if you are adding a bathroom to an area where there currently isn t one. Yet there are many pitfalls to consider with this traditional approach. Many people appreciate the low cost of concrete floor especially when considering the long life this floor will enjoy you may never need another floor covering.

First cutting into a concrete pad is a costly endeavor and inevitably weakens its structural integrity. A concrete floor can be a good choice if you have an existing slab foundation and a home style that is a good stylistic fit for the polished gleam of honed concrete. Adding a bathroom in a basement garage area or in a home that sits on a slab traditionally requires cutting into concrete. You can update that drab look to appeal to buyers or as.

The house has a concrete slab foundation so i am not sure how to tie into the existing plumbing.
