I want to put a shower and a toilet in the basement , but the sewer line is three feet above floor, what can you install to get ready of the waste water ?

Hello Tinosan,

Basically you have 2 ways to go. You can install Sewer Ejector or Saniflow System.

Sewer Ejector is more expensive option with lots of wall, ceiling and floor cutting. It is also quite expensive to purchase.Moreover, Sewer Ejector needs dedicated vent so you would have to run vent all the way to the roof. Here, I suggest you hire licensed plumber to install it for you.

Second option is Saniflow System ( or similar ). Saniflow system is a retrofit system. It is lot cheaper than Sewer Ejector and utilizes a lot cleaner way to install. If you are handy, you can even do it yourself.

Here is an example of Saniflow System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gINQVTBtT6Y
