: I do not have the pipes roughed in and am trying to decide what to do. I do have a waste basin with an ejector pump right in the area I would like to add the bathroom. Here are my questions...........

: 1. Is the goal in the installation to run all the drain lines to the basin?

: 2. Do I need to tie all the fixtures into the vent stack?

: 3. As a fairly capable handyman with limited plumbing experience should I attempt this or give it to a pro?

: 4. What should I expect to pay for this if I go with a pro?

: Thanks

>It depends on your piping layout, all the fixtures for the basement bathroom need to be vented, they do not necessarily need to tie into the "vent stack" if an appropriate vent can be located<

3. As a fairly capable handyman with limited plumbing experience should I attempt this or give it to a pro?
>There are strict codes that need to be followed for this installation. Unless you are familiar with them, hiring a pro may be your best bet. Have the pro do the rough work, you can set the fixtures and do the finish work, if the pro doesn't mind<

4. What should I expect to pay for this if I go with a pro?
>The only way to get an accurate quote or even an estimate for the work would be to have a licensed plumber look at the existing conditions<

Good Luck. e-plumber
