In Reply to: How to install a Basement toilet Posted by: Dave W on January 19, 2000 at 18:27:44:

: I woiuld like to install a basement bathroom. The sewer line is about 4 feet above the concrete floor. I know there are various ways around this, such as to create a waste well in the floor and pump sewage out. I've also heard about the existence of "flush-up" toilets. I've also read where these are costly. So, what's the best method and why, and what kind of costs can I realistically expect? Many thanks!!!

Since only toilets are made flush-up (not sinks or showers) unless you only want a commode, you must install the sewar ejector system.

Small ejectors run about $350, but need to have a 220v line run to them, add the cost of jackhammering up the floor, running the lines, re-concrete floor...

Figure a base price of $1000 for the rough plumbing...
