    Basement Sewage pump placement
    I am in the beginning stages of home construction. Would it be better to install a sewage pump in the basement foundation or outside? What would be the most ideal location?

    Thanks for your help!

    It depends on the lay out of your project. Sometimes it is better to have sewer ejector in the basement, sometimes it is better to have it outside. If on outside, than you have to keep in mind the looks of it, too...
