I recently bought my home (13 months ago), which was built in 1989.
In the unfinished basement, there is no roughed in plumbing at all. The whole home is on a well and septic-system, so all the water and drainage pvc and copper is run overhead, both coming in from the well and draining out to the septic.
Is it possible to add a basement bathroom in this case? By code, it has to be done by a licensed plumbing contractor. Would the contractor run the drainpiping under the concrete? If so, how do they tap into the existing drainage to the leachfield, which is all overhead? I know in homes on public water, the drainpipe is in place as the foundation is laid and runs down and away. How does a basement bathroom drain work if it has to go UP to get to the existing drainage?
Has anyone done this to a home on septic and well? How much did you pay?
THANKS.
