Hi,
We recently added a bathroom in the basement of our house. The bathroom has a toilet, wash basin and shower. We had a plumbing company install a new pit, which houses an ejector pump.
About 12' to 14" away from the newly installed pit, we have our rain water pit which collects and ejects rain water using a standard sump pump. After I installed the toilet, I discovered that water from the toilet is seeping into the rain water pit. I put food dye in the toilet and the color appeared in the rain water pit. the toilet has never been used, only tested for leakage, but I'm afraid the toilet refuse will seep into the rain pit and smell. Is this normal or should I call back the plumbers.
Thank You,
Frank
