My laundry room is currently on the main floor of my home. We would like to move it to the basement and turn the present room into a half bath. We have a septic tank in the back and all of the current drain pipes are in the back right corner of my basement. How should we do this? – Casey
Hi Casey,
You would need to install what is known as a grinder pump or lift station to pump the drain water from the washer up to the level of your drain pipe so it can be fed into your septic tank. A plumber would be familiar with this type of system.

We have put our washer in the basement. We now need to connect it to our septic line overhead. Would it be alright to put the washer drain hose into a 55 gal. barrel and put a sump pump in the barrel to pump the gray water into the septic line?
