Toilet Technology Saves Money for Homeowners

The client wants to add a second bathroom, but the home doesn't have drain lines nearby. To save the customer the cost and time of excavating the floor, installing underground piping or creating a raised floor, consider a macerating toilet. With self-contained pumps, these toilets can flush waste 12 feet vertically and 150 feet horizontally to connect to existing plumbing.
