There has to be a tank pan under the hot water tank with a drain hooked up to the pan. If the tank leaks, it will go into the pan which will flow into the pipe that you have to have hooked up to the sewage system.

What is the first step to install a basement bathroom?
Decide if it is feasable. Are there drains already in place ? Does the existing main drain go through the floor or out the wall. If it's out the wall, you would need to install a pump for the sewage. If it is through the floor, you will have to bust out a section of the floor to install drains if none exist. Fairly expensive and labor intense. so you have to ask if it is worth it. After the drains are dealt with, it is just a matter of walls, plumbing, and fixtures.
What are plumbing Rough-in stops?
Roughed-in plumbing refers to plumbing (water and waste lines) installed for future fixtures, for example, a bathroom in a basement. Stops refer to shut-off valves on water supply lines, required to shut-off the water to repair the fixture that they service. So "Rough-in stops" are shut-off valves on supply lines that are roughed-in. If they were not roughed-in, you would need to break concrete floor (to install waste lines) if/when you decided to add a bathroom to your basement family room.
