Move Sink Drain From Floor To Wall

If the commode drainpipe is not in close.

Move sink drain from floor to wall. Or you might find there is framing in the way or some other complications. I would like to buy a larger bathroom cabinet and move the sink 10 5 inches further away from the wall. So the new sink would be 27 5 inches from. You d need to open up the wall either on the bathroom or bedroom side figure out how the piping is run cut it and re install.

It s nearly impossible to accurately answer your question without being able to see what you are dealing with. Drainage also has to be moved. How easy or hard it is will depend on the type of piping and how it s run. Moving the plumbing requires cutting the old pipes and rerouting them to the center of the vanity or cabinet.

In its new location the sink drain should drop vertically between wall studs to the floor where it ties into the larger drain that serves the commode. Connect a p trap to the drain tailpiece which is the straight pipe that extends down from the drain. It may be as simple as opening the wall cutting out the old plumbing adding a few fittings and closing the wall back up. Measure the height of the drain opening in the wall from the floor of the cabinet using a tape.

Then you have to think about tiling and a new shower screen. Then you would just be opening the drywall here to put elbows on the pipes to bring them out of the wall. Moving a sink may be the least expensive but the sink should be on the same wall or moving it can be expensive. If your sink has the plumbing on the rear or side walls it s possible to move the plumbing to the center of the sink.

When it comes time to renovate the old kitchen and rip out the basin in the corner and install a new upgraded two basin sink a few feet from the wall or an island sink in the middle of the room the plumbing is most likely moored in a concrete slab in the flooring that must be taken out before the new pipes are installed and finishing work gets underway. When you add up the costs moving a shower can be expensive. The current sink sits 18 inches from the wall.
