Who's done a Bathroom in basement below waste line?

[John Hickey]

Hey BP I'm doing some work in the basement and in talking to the plumber he said there is a few ways to do this ejector pump, macerating pump. He prefers an ejector pump with a tank. Anyone have experience with this in a rental over a few years? Looking for a heads up on maintenance issues, clogs etc. Also what's your typical bathroom cost on this? My standard tub shower combo with vanity and toilet runs 4500 all in. This is looking like 6k. I trust my guy but just looking for other points of view.

John Hickey I was on a construction team in Los Angeles and we had a ejector pit for the bathroom in the basement of the parking garage. Being a commercial building the pump is probably more powerful than what will go in a home. Also, conducted a home inspection one time that had a sewage eject pit for the bathroom In The basement and there was a sign on the wall that said only number ones and no number twos so I would imagine they had previous issues with the ejector pump or maybe a smell from the ejector pit. Would call other plumbers to get their opinions on the ejector pits.
