Many homes have basements that are not considered part of the living space. Unfinished basements are fine for storage or a laundry room, but are a waste of space that could be part of your home. Remodeling your basement can add square footage to your home, increasing its value while giving your family more area to enjoy. If you are remodeling your basement to add living space, consider adding a downstairs bathroom for convenience and as a valuable addition to your home.
Basement Bathroom Issues
The reason that many homes with basements do not have a bathroom in this area is due to plumbing issues. While using a washer in the basement only requires expelling gray water, a bathroom requires elimination of solid waste. Since plumbing in the main floors of the house use gravity to move solid waste, you need another way to pump sewage from your basement as it will need to travel up to your sewer lines.
An ejector pump is the solution to adding a basement bathroom. This device pumps sewage up to your sewer lines, giving you the option of adding a bathroom or even kitchen plumbing to your basement. A local septic or sewer company can install an ejector pump that will give you the option of adding a bathroom to your remodeled basement, increasing the value of your home with the convenience of a larger living area.
Don’t let the square footage in your basement go to waste. Talk to your local sewer company about the option of adding an ejector pump to make the most of all your home’s living space.
