Add a Basement Toilet – No Floor Cutting Required!
In a recent project, SFA Pumps helped a customer solve a challenging problem: installing a toilet in the basement of a completed building without being allowed to cut into the concrete floor.
Customer Challenge
The customer wanted to add a small toilet in their basement for daily use. However, they faced two major obstacles:
- There was no existing drainage system in the basement.
- The homeowner did not allow floor cutting or structural modifications to install wastewater piping.
Under these conditions, a traditional toilet installation would be nearly impossible. Fortunately, the customer found an effective solution from SFA.
Implemented Solution: Saniaccess 3
The technical team at SFA Pumps recommended the Saniaccess 3 macerator pump – a compact yet powerful device that is easy to install. With its built-in cutting blade, Saniaccess 3 collects waste from the toilet and floor drain, then pumps it up to 10 meters horizontally to the central septic tank.
No floor cutting. No demolition.
The installation was clean, quick, and completely non-invasive.
Why Saniaccess 3 Was the Optimal Choice
- Flexible installation: Doesn’t require proximity to the main drain. Perfect for spaces with no existing wastewater infrastructure.
- Easy maintenance: Smart design allows access to internal components without disassembling the entire system.
- Efficient & cost-saving: Quiet operation and a powerful motor macerate waste into fine slurry, allowing discharge through small-diameter pipes.
- Ideal for residential or small commercial spaces: Compact design is perfect for secondary toilets, basements, small offices, or shops.
Installation Outcome
The basement toilet was put into operation immediately after installation – with:
- No impact on the structure
- No demolition costs
- No disruption to daily life
The customer was fully satisfied with the result:
✔️ A functional toilet exactly where it was needed
✔️ A clean, discreet, long-term solution
✔️ Zero structural modifications to the house
