Adding a Bathroom to Your Basement Using an Ejector Pump

Many homeowners have dreamed of converting their basement into a livable family area. Often basements become dark dungeons only used for a workshop or storage but they can become much more, especially with the addition of a bathroom. The problem is that most basements are below the sewer lines of the house, making it more difficult to add a bathroom. However, by adding an ejector pump the home, that basement bathroom and living area can become a reality.

What is an Ejector Pump?

An ejector pump is similar to a sump pump in that it removes water from the basement level by pumping upwards. However, an ejector pump moves sewer water, not excess rainwater, and connects to the sewer system above. By adding an ejector pump, you can have a bathroom plumbed into your basement, add a sink and even put your laundry room downstairs, creating more space on your main level.

Ejector pumps are often installed when a house is built but can be added as an addition. If you have a home with a basement that does not already have an ejector pump, an experienced sewer service can install the pump and connect it to your existing sewer lines. Many sewer companies are also expert plumbers that can help you install your new bathroom fixtures and connect your plumbing to the ejector pump.

Don’t let all that space in your basement go to waste. Talk to your local sewer service company about the possibility of adding an ejector pump and new bathroom to your basement. With the addition of a bathroom, you can add another bedroom or a family room, adding to the size and value of your home.
