Kitchen Makeover + PLUMBING ON CONCRETE (Ep.2)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter explains the overall project of updating kitchen plumbing in a house built on a concrete slab. The existing kitchen had a peninsula that housed much of the old plumbing and electrical. The goal is to reroute these utilities to accommodate a new sink location and add a pot filler. A key challenge is the presence of radiant heated floors, which requires careful planning to avoid cutting into water tubes embedded in the concrete. The presenter uses an infrared thermometer to locate the radiant heating tubes, identifying safe zones for cutting. The target area for new plumbing requires cutting a trench through the concrete to lay down the new lines.

Goal: The initial step involves assessing the existing kitchen layout, identifying the locations for new sink and appliance plumbing, and planning the routes for drain pipes, water lines, and electrical conduit, especially crucial on a concrete slab to avoid existing radiant floor heating tubes.

all right welcome back to the concrete slab house makeover demo day is done in the kitchen so the next part is going to be plumbing on a concrete slab i know a lot of you had questions about this just specifically if you have a house built on a coffee slab or you have a basement house because we had a peninsula here a lot of plumbing and electrical went through it so we have to get that stuff under the ground now electrical might be easy and i'll show you how but the plumbing is the most difficult part because we have a vent tube that goes in here and goes to the top so we need to figure out how to get rid of that re-plumb that how to get these power cables under the ground we got to make sure to figure out our new sink location which is going to be here and the proper sloping for it with the water lines going to it and to make matters even more difficult we want to figure out how to add a fresh water pot tap right there for you know filling up possum pants and stuff
