Basement Bathroom
Hi,
I am looking to finish my basement and put a bathroom in. The bathroom configuration will be pretty basic, just a toilet and sink. My sewage line is about six inches above the basement floor, I really don't want to dig 5 feet down to put a sump. The height of the sewage line is fine for the sink, but obviously not for the toilet. Do I have any other options besides the sump? Would a pressurized toilet work in this case? Or does any one have any other suggestions? (raising the bathroom floor is really not an option due to ceiling height).
I would like to keep it nice looking and avoid any chance of possible odor.
Thanks,
Joe

HI. I know you said ceiling height was an issue, but without having to raise the whole floor, look into a product called "qwik John" by Zoeller.

You can check out Macerating toilets. No digging necessary. They have a pump and grinder and also have inlets for the sink and tub (if needed). The piping goes up and then connects into your sewer line and vent. Good luck.
