Adding plumbing fixtures to the basement involves special challenges, which are different than the challenges of installing plumbing in other parts of the home. Depending on whether the existing sewer line is above or below the floor of the basement, the plumbers may have to employ special measures to ensure that the basement plumbing will drain properly.
Knowing ahead of time, where the sewer line enters the home, and how deep it lies is essential; so making this determination is an important part of preliminary basement plumbing installation.
Because of these special challenges, knowing who to contact first, the architect, contractor or plumber can be confusing to the homeowner.

The page contains a podcast by plumber Pinchus Urszuy, which advises homeowners, wanting to add plumbing to their basement, how they should proceed. To see the new A-1 Plumbing page
