[quote=“storm1911, post:15, topic:5228”][quote=“jaldor, post:14, topic:5228”][quote=“Natures Witness, post:10, topic:5228”]From a construction perspective, I have to say a hidden staircase under a functional toilet does not seem feasible. Plumbing in general does not like to be moved around once it’s installed, and this goes double for septic lines.
In particular, I see this causing major problems with the sealing ring between the toilet itself and the drain pipe; these seals are commonly a large beeswax ring, and are particularly intolerant of ANY sort of movement. This is why it is very important that a toilet be installed securely and correctly; even slight movement done repeatedly, like from people sitting down and getting up, will probably damage this seal and cause leaks. And since this seal is entirely hidden, you won’t discover it until it’s leaked all the way through the ceiling of the room below, and by then you’ll have major rot and water damage to the floor around the toilet.
We had an incident recently at a nearby senior residence building where I help out sometimes; during a renovation of a bathroom, the seal on the toilet wasn’t installed properly. By the time we found it, all the floor joists under it were rotted; I think they had to tear out a one yard square section of floor to get it fixed.
Wait, did I just sit here for ten minutes writing I detailed description on why you shouldn’t build secret passages under toilets?
Maybe I spend too much time on these forums.[/quote]
No one said it had to be a FUNCTIONAL toilet. Come to think of it, there are no functional toilets at all in CDDA.[/quote]
Il catch you wrong… the toilet which i found was a toilet staircase (i started searching for them EVERYWHERE) was filled with water :)[/quote]
It is filled with water in order fool people into thinking it’s a normal toilet and not hiding a staircase to a secret lab/cannabis plantation/armory/survival bunker
