I will be starting to build my own home in a few weeks. I Have decided to put a shower in the basement. My question has to do with the drain of the shower. I am in an area where I have a well and a septic, so can I just run some pvc pipe from the shower drain to the sump crock, and have the shower drain into the crock?
Also, does anyone have any idea on how far below the cement to set the sump crock? It seems like an inch or so of fall to the crock would be sufficient.
Thanks……..Larry
