Learn how to add a basement bathroom to your existing basement with this DIY, step-by-step video. Specifically, this video will cover basement bathroom planning, permitting, and waterproofing.
When adding a bathroom to a basement, a successful project starts with planning. It is very important to plan out the locations for all of the plumbing fixtures, walls etc. early on in the planning process. After planning out your bathroom layout, you will needed to demolish the existing basement floor slab using a jackhammer. Once the floor is open, you will need to install your basement bathroom plumbing and attach the drain line(s) to your home's existing sewer line. Finally, you will need to pour new concrete in order to fill the void in the basement slab floor.
Overall, I am not an expert on this process and I actually hired out much of the initial below slab plumbing. This video is meant to share my knowledge gained during the basement bathroom addition process.
This is Episode 1 in my "How to add a basement bathroom" series. In the next few videos, you will learn how to:
- Frame Basement Bathroom Walls

Freaking finally. Someone building/renovating a bathroom and actually thinking critically about the location of plumbing, especially that the shower faucet belongs on the same side as toilet so you aren’t stepping out of the shower into the toilet
Appreciate it!
Im at a loss for words. I never would have imagined the finished bath having seen the bare bones basement beforehand. You are a genius. With good taste :D
I appreciate it!!
Jesus this guy has one of the most severely underrated utube channels Iv ever seen. Keep it up bro
Great to see added episodes. So informative. Please keep 'em coming!
Glad you like them! I’m going to try to release a new video in the series every week!
Im very confused by this channel, great videos, 159k subscribers and only a few thousand views on recent vids?
Haha yea I think it’s fair to say that all of my subscribers are not getting served my videos. But all good. Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewThronImprovements worst case I've seen!
It's 193k subscribers now..but still, most of them are probably on a mission to Mars and don't have access to TH-cam.....I think..
Went to your web site but can’t find the basement bathroom ebook you refer to here. Where can I find the ebook?
Was everything wet vented? Have the same situation in my basement.
Not true if you are the owner you can do your plumbing and electric yourself without having a license at all. Only thing you can't do is install the meter.
💯
I think the permits are needed if you wanted to sell the house later. If you are going to live there indefinitely, go for it.
Awesome videos! Very helpful.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
No rebar is needed for the concrete? Thanks for the video too.
Damn I only get them to add pipes for $5k no cement finish. $2k is a steal for a roughin
Do you need inspection before backfill?
sweeeet, nice
Thanks!
What size is this bathroom
What was the reason for not filling in the last bit with concrete (th-cam.com/video/a4IsilS_vUM/w-d-xo.html) [6:13 timestamp when this was referenced]? Is this the Ptrap for the tub?
If the tub isn't onsite the plumber leaves that open so adjustments can be made for the drain position. After installation, that area should be filled so termites can't get in.
Great amazing how to there ty . Question on drop ceiling and shower 🤔
Drop ceiling and shower vids coming soon!
was the lav sink not vented?
The plumber put in an air admittance valve - which I thought was a little questionable
AAV can work, but it should be accessible so it can be serviced. You don't want it to fail, and the venting for all your bathroom is compromised. I also dont see a vent for the laundry so i dont really know whats happening there. Maybe he just took the easy way out. Then again that's probably why you paid cheap.
what was your final cost? #Confused😫😫😫💁💁💁💁
I paid a plumber 2k for under slab plumbing. Overall, the bathroom cost around 5-6k in materials total!
I was quoted $12k for cement and roughing in plumbing so… time to call a different plumber!
Dang! I think I got a really good deal, but 12k definitely sounds like a lot!
Hello
Hello!
close your concrete folks dont leave it open
1500$… Toronto they are asking 10k!
Yea the pricing these days is getting out of control
