Hello,
we are facing the following issue. We are building a house with a basement where 30cm (12 inches) of height is missing to create the necessary slope for drainage.
Our construction company has now planned a pump with a sump pit in the basement for this, with additional costs of €3000.
Now I’m not sure if a small lifting station costing around €1000 would be sufficient for the basement drainage (1 sink + 1 shower, washing machine, and NO toilet). At least, our neighbors have solved it this way. The ground floor and upper floor drainage go directly into the sewer, and for the rest, a small lifting station is used.
Could you please give me some independent advice? I have the feeling that either the proposed solution is oversized or that now the drainage of the whole house is routed through the sump pit.
It is also worth mentioning that we have a cistern with a water station for non-potable water, but this should not really matter in this case.
Thank you,
