Cutting/breaking through concrete slabs is not all that difficult once you get a hole started through the slab. Putting plumbing fixtures on platforms screams "hack" to many potential buyers, so an ejector pump seems appropriate. (I've heard that some home owners insurance companies won't insure tanks that are older than 25 years due to leakage concerns.) Is that red line on the drawing an exterior wall? If so, what are your plans for access to the oil tank when it needs to be replaced? Unless it's made of some inert material (fiberglass) the typical oil tank used here in New England will rust out along the bottom and need to be replaced. to have a plumber do it all (concrete cutting, venting, etc)? Just for labor, I'd buy the pump, toilet, etc. So which would be best for my situation? And can anyone estimate how much it would cost in Mass. Should I just try breaking into it and see what happens? I guess what it comes down to is, is it possible for me to cut or break into the concrete without an enormous amount of hassle? In the other part of the basement I broke into areas of the floor where the slab was very thin and dug down to fill them with concrete. The Sewage Ejector pump would go in the "unfinished area" shown in the image above. It seems like this would be preferable, but I'm concerned about the concrete cutting/breaking. The alternative is a Sewage Ejector system. I would also need to chip into the concrete to fit the p-trap. Cutting it awfully close to that 82" ceiling. I would need to put it up on a 2圆 platform to accommodate the necessary 1/4" per foot slope to the pump. Problem is, the shower stall I'm looking at is 75 inches tall. If I use a SaniPLUS, it would be behind the toilet and I would run the sink's drain and the shower drain to it. I'm trying to decide between a Sewage Ejector system or a Saniflo SaniPLUS.
