The basement in many homes is an under-utilized area. It may be used for a laundry room or storage, maybe a rec room for the kids. What if your basement could add more bedrooms and useable space to your home? Often the reason this area is not used more is the lack of a bathroom on this level of the home.

The reason many homes do not have a bathroom in the basement is a simple plumbing problem. Most plumbing is gravity driven; water and waste travels downward to the main sewer line with the use of gravity. In basements, waste needs to go up, so simple plumbing methods are not functional. The solution is an ejector pump that can propel water and waste up pipes to the main sewer line.

How an Ejector Pump Works

Ejector pumps are similar to sump pumps. They are automatically activated to pump waste water up and away from the home. With the installation of an ejector pump, you can add a half, three-quarter or full bath to your basement. The ejector pump will replace gravity to move the waste water from your bathroom fixtures. Most ejector pumps are electric require little maintenance to continue performing for many years.

Adding a bathroom to your basement can give you more living space for your family and inflate the value of your home. To learn more about how and where an ejector pump can be installed, contact your local plumbing company that offers ejector pump service. Your plumbing professionals can help you plan and install your ejector pump and bathroom fixtures to give your basement a new bathroom.

Do you have unused square footage in your home in your basement? Many homes have only partially finished basements that are used for laundry or storage, but many homeowners hesitate to fully finish those areas because they are concerned about being able to add a bathroom below ground level.  An ejector pump can provide the solution to this problem.  Investing in remodeling your basement can have many benefits, including:

• Increase the square footage of your home. Once the basement is finished, it is considered part of the overall square footage of your home. This can add significant value to your home.
• More bedrooms. Is your family growing bigger or the kids just want more space as they enter their teen years? Add a bedroom and bathroom downstairs to give your family more room and privacy.
• Add a mother-in-law apartment. Make your basement a separate living space for investment purposes or for a family member.
• Make a work area, studio or home office. Your basement could be a great area for you to explore working at home or engage in a hobby. Make the most of your extra space.

Adding Plumbing to Your Basement

One of the factors to consider when remodeling or finishing your basement is adding plumbing for a full bathroom.  With the help of an ejector pump, you can add a full bathroom below ground level. Installing an ejector pump allows you to add plumbing below the level of your main sewer line to move wastewater up to the sewer line for your home.

Make the most of every square foot of your home by remodeling your basement. You can add 50% or more to your home, giving you more space and value. Talk to your local sewer service to learn more about adding bathroom plumbing to your basement to improve the convenience and comfort of your new space.
