Just purchased a home and we're looking for some advice on getting our laundry room up and running. The house was built in 1950's and is a single story with an unfinished basement so fortunately we've got plenty of access.
The sump pit is original and as I understand it really needs to be covered for sanitation and code sake. Down the road we may need to install an interior perimeter drain (if needed) and also plan to add a downstairs bathroom at some point. At that point we'll do a proper sewage ejector to handle everything downstairs, in the mean time (1-2 years) we plan to use a utility sink pump to lift the gray water to the horizontal main stack.
Here are some pictures of the current setup and proposed changes. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
