We are planning a kitchen remodel and *ideally* the kitchen sink and gas would be in different places. I know that would cost more than keeping them where they are, but I was wondering in what ball park amount more? If it's say an extra $4k it might be worth it, if it was $10k there is no way we would. Floor is a concrete slab and its an old 70's house. Any ideas? Re: Cost of Relocating Plumbing in Concrete Slab? 2Sep 13, 2014 6:38 pm Are you planning to recover the floor? It's not that much of a big job. Just a 100mm channel through the floor from original drainage to where you want it. And another 30mm one for the gas. Shouldnt cost you more then 2k max! Easy as! Re: Cost of Relocating Plumbing in Concrete Slab? 7Sep 14, 2014 10:57 am As per what mgilla is saying - if you have to cut a decent sized trench into the concrete ( anything past the reo is major ) then you will most assuredly compromise the structural integrity of the slab. and/or affect the under-slab DPC (waterproofing). Getting some advice from a structural engineer should be your first port of call. Stewie The concreter will take and reuse. In my case I bought structural LVLs and scraped them back and used them as joists. 1 5160 yep, clearly mark where the infloor heating pipes are before drilling or nailing 1 6067 Building Standards; Getting It Right! is this for a residential dwelling or a shed?
