Default Upward-flushing toilets?

My basement, which I plan to finish off into several rooms has no
sewer connect. The upstairs sewer line comes down into the basement,
runs along a side wall and then out to the street about half-way up
the basement wall. I'd like to put a toilet and vanity in the finished
basement. Is there such a thing as an upward-flushing toilet? I
suspect it would have to sit atop a raised area with some kind of pump
underneath. Never heard of one though. Thanks.


They come with a special pump and housing that not only pumps but slices
and dices.

I had one installed in my basement last year. Just warn any females not
to flush sanitary napkins- the fibers can tangle in the blades, I was
warned.

Those shouldn't be flushed anyway.

Yes, they are jokingly referred to in the trade as a Grinder.
