I recently attempted to find the answer to my impending question online. My usual plumber is out of town and I was quite enlightened to find this forum in the process. Of course, I joined. Yep, a newbie. Glad you're here and thanks for taking time to help people like myself!
My question is in reference to an investment house I recently purchased. I have built a bathroom in the basement where there was plumbing and a a basin already in place. I plumbed everything properly, purchased a solids waste pump and, following the instructions, managed fairly well. The basin lid provided came with three holes in it's lid. Before permanently plumbing the pump and exhaust pipe, I bacame concerned with how to seal off the basin. I am concerned with odor before I start using this bathroom. My question is; What is the proper method for sealing off the basin? The three holes loosely accommodate the plumbing pipes and then another hole for the electrical source. That leaves a lot of room for gases to escape into the unfinished part of my basement. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
