Basement Bathroom

10 years ago

We are in the process of building a new home (haven't dug the hole yet). The basement will sit too far below the septic system to have a gravity drain. What is the best way to install a full bathroom in the basement? Have been looking at the upflush systems and the sewage ejector systems.

There are always an up side and a down side to be considered based on the overall construction , location and budget. If you are paying a general contractor,I reccomend letting him earn his fee by amoung other things,answering your questions BEFORE starting construction. If you are acting as your own,I reccomend you ask a friend,family member or someone who has experience to assist you with the intire process. Believe me when I say there will be many more issues come up and no time to educate yourself before making a decision to keep things on scedule.

klem1,

We will be acting as the general contractor. I will need to talk to my plumber about it before pouring the floor. I was just looking for some ideas/opinions on here as well.
