But alas, it won't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basement-toilet#post-2866127 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 11:01:24 +0000 Mommy Finger 2866127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just put in a bathroom in our basement but I don't think we had to do what you are talking about. We were able to dig up the slab and connect with the current stacks that lead to our other bathrooms upstairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basement-toilet#post-2866073 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 21:59:34 +0000 HappyBaker 2866073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: We have an ejector pump with a pit, which I think is what you can't do since you can't break up the slab? When we installed it our plumber said the upflush toilet systems break down a lot more / need to be repaired more, but we also didn't have the ceiling height to have one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basement-toilet#post-2866061 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 21:04:41 +0000 Littlebit7 2866061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: ah thanks!

Thanks! Yeah I’ll post there when we get a bit closer to closing I think; we are still a ways out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basement-toilet#post-2866035 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 19:35:24 +0000 Anagram 2866035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: in town or nearby? You can always post in the mommies group. I have friends (they are really the parents of my kids’ friends because our nannies are sisters) that are doing a big basement reno right now, including adding a bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basement-toilet#post-2866034 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 19:28:05 +0000 Littlebit7 2866034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are buying one, yes, and I’m exploring the options of adding something to the basement. It basically is like a garbage disposal and a pump. It can handle waste and water and pump it up if you are below the level of your sewer line or done want to dig up a slab </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basement-toilet#post-2866032 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 19:25:03 +0000 Anagram 2866032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: did you buy a house? I haven’t, as a condo dweller, but curious what others say in case we ever have a house. I don’t even k ow what an upflush toilet is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basement-toilet#post-2866021 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 18:39:49 +0000 Littlebit7 2866021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super random </p> <p>Has anyone installed an upflush toilet?</p> <p>We are considering adding a bathroom to a basement and digging up the slab is a no-go (not for budget but for code reasons). </p>
