Moving a toilet means relocating a large drain, which is one of the costlier parts of a remodel. Here is the Pittsburgh guide.
The drain size
Toilets use a large drain that must connect to the main line with proper slope, which is why moving one is expensive.
The routing
The new drain may need to run through joists or a floor, adding structural work and cost.
The vent
A relocated toilet needs its own vent, run to the roof or tied into an existing vent.
The plan
Keeping the toilet near the existing drain saves the most. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older city rowhomes have aging supply lines In Pittsburgh, a pro can lay out the options.
