plumbing below sewer line

| Can you install working plumbing BELOW the sewer line? I'm looking at my
basement and wondering if I can add plumbing or not. I'm strongly
suspecting no, as the septic tank line is on the celing of the basement, so
any waste-water would have to pumped UP - plus the unsanitary potential for
downstairs sinks to turn into sewage fountains.
But I figured there's nothing hurt by asking.

That's why they make sewage ejector systems...

Oh, that's cool. I'll have to take a look at it.
Thanks.

This actually happens rather frequently. A pit and an ejector pump
are what make it possible.
Devil's in the details though, but yes it's possible. Pit naturally
will be below the drains on that level.

| my father in law has one built into the toilet, so the sink drains into
the toilet and everything gets ground up and ejected into the main
sewer by a small line. works fantastic. he is a retired sewer plant
operator
