I have a friend that just bought a small house with a partial basement. There is a washing machine in the basement that empties into a 55 gallon drum. When it empties, the sump pump in the drum is activated and starts pumping the water up and into a drain pipe. The drain pipe it connects to comes from the sink and shower of the bathroon and empties into the cast iron toilet fitting. After the toilet fitting, the cast iron drain pipe immediately exits the side of the basement, through the yard and into the city sewer system. On the other side of the toilet fitting connects the drain for the kitchen sink.
The problem is that when the sump pump runs, it forces water up into the shower. It's never enough to flood the bathroom, but it is rather gross.
