To have hired a contractor to do this I would have spent $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>I first had the plumber come in and mark where he wanted the floor removed. I then rented a saw built for cutting cement from a local hardware store.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the actual cutting, I prepared the surrounding area by tacking up plastic walls.

You will need to dig down at least 28&#8243; such that the top of the pump up system is only a few inches above the finish floor grade. It is preferable to get it down to grade level.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Pump Up tank was in, my plumber took over the rest of the job and within a few months we had a finished basement with a bathroom.<\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2524 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/bathroom-in-basement.jpg\" alt=\"Installing a Bathroom in a basement\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/basement-remodeling-bid-sheet\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">For more help on Basement Additions<\/span><\/b>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s <b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/basement-remodeling-bid-sheet\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Basement Remodeling Bid sheet<\/span><\/a><\/b>.
