howto? basement drain (for washer)
I need to install a washer in a basement, problem is there is no drain in
the area. The only real option is to pump it up and over then tie it into the drain stack on the opposite side of the house. I've seen "boxes" before that had a pump in them, but I have no idea what these are called. Any ideas what those boxes are called and what they are priced? |

Packaged sewer ejector system: http://www.plumbingsupply.com/sewagepackages.html You'll probably have to plan on a (small) vent pipe as well as the large drain. See if the mfr has a .pdf of the install plans. Jim |
