It is very difficult, starting major repairs, to avoid the temptation to transfer the plumbing in the bathroom or kitchen so that the room becomes more beautiful and functional. In addition to various technical subtleties that very complicate this process, and sometimes make it simply impossible, there are some restrictions on the part of SNiPs.
For example, you can’t just transfer the bathroom or kitchen where there is a gas stove, dishwasher, etc. D. At the other end of the apartment, if in the apartment there are living rooms below at this level. This option is permissible in a two -level apartment, while the underlying ceiling will help to “insure” the lower room.
You cannot expand “wet” places due to living rooms even in their own apartment. This can only be done by a pantry or corridor, for example, or by reducing the thickness of the walls. It is very popular to unite the bathroom with the toilet and the kitchen with the living room. In the latter case, it is necessary to waterproof the floor and its joints with the walls.
In no case should the sewer risers be moved, as well as to perform any actions with ventilation ducts.
Ideally, plumbing and pipes cannot be attached to the inter -quarter walls and partitions between the rooms. And the newly installed pipes are necessary – and soundproof.
