Basement bathroom - what maintenance needed?
Hi all,
I'm trying to buy a spec home with one of the nationwide builders. One of their most expensive options is a full bathroom in the basement. I don't really have any use for a bathtub in the basement but a powder room would be nice. These guys are not very flexible in their options. it's either bathtub or nothing. So I'm trying to decide if I even need to bother with the whole plumbing in the basement thing. I never had a bathroom below grade before. I understand that there is a pump that has to be kept on all the time (or when someone flushes?). If you have experience with this, please post here about what upkeep is required for this setup. I guess, you can't send an auger through it when it clogs either. So my main question is: "is it even worth the trouble to have a bathroom in the basement?" \//. ------------------------------------- ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.thestuccocompany.com/ Building Construction and Maintenance Forum Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - alt.home.repair - 296665 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## |
