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. |
