Can a floor drain be installed in a basement?
Con: Difficult to install an effective floor drain in existing basements. Unlike in new construction, in which a concrete contractor would simply design the floor with a gentle slope toward the drain, existing basement floors are typically made to be level—in other words, water will not naturally run toward the drain.
Where does the floor start to slope toward the drain?
The floor starts sloping toward the drain at about 3 feet from the center of the drain. I was wondering the best way to level the floor before putting down the padding for the floor.
How do you build a frame around a toilet?
Measure, mark and cut with a circular saw the joist so it ends within 3 or 4 inches of the planned toilet drain. Measure, mark and cut a header of 2-inch dimensional lumber the same size as the joist. Nail a joist hanger to each of the full joists flanking the drain.

Why is it bad to build over a drainfield?
The soil beneath the drainfield needs oxygen so that the microbes in the soil can treat the effluent from the drainfield. However, if a permanent structure is built over a drainfield it can restrict the oxygen flow into the soil and restrict the evapotranspiration process. A big risk to building over the drainfield is causing the lines to collapse.
What should I frame in front of my toilet?
Rework your framing strategy if the rear piece of blocking would interfere with the 3-inch drain line that runs from the closet bend to the main drain. After you put in the blocking in front of the toilet, add 2-by-4 cleats to the inside of the joists flanking the closet bend, aligned with the top of the joist.
