    What does it generally cost to install basement bath drainage
    Hi, I've got a barter thing going on in which I'm trading body/paint work for plumbing.I'm building a basement bath that has no preexisting rough in. The plumber figures the drainage to cost just over a grand. This includes cutting the concrete and material costs with the pump and tank. It sounds like a good price to me but I wanted to just check before I went ahead.
    Also, He seems to be worried about being able to find the vent stack. Is there a typical method for locating it?
    Thanks!

    It's difficult to estimate material and labor on your job without a wholesalers price list and the labor conditions, (union or nonunion) in your area so we don't attempt to do so. We also need to be "on site" to check out any problems that may be present. Good luck, Tom

    Well I know that no one is going to give me a "quote". I was only really looking for a general price range to see if 1000 or so was reasonable. All plumbing would be in a 10X10 area. No long stretches. I think that a tank and pump from the home depot cost about the same where ever you are.

    When you consider a ejector system would run between 5 and 6 hundred dollars the $ 1000.00 quote sounds like a good deal.

    You plumber will be running two vents. One venting the fixtures which can be tied back to the house vents and another dedicated pit vent that must be kept separate and exit the roof by itself. This pit vent can not be tied back to the house venting. Good luck, Tom
