Basement Laundry Room Plumbing

Plumbing, Ask Danny Published 03/12/2008 by Danny Lipford

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 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.
