Add a full or half bathroom to your basement. We handle rough-in plumbing, sewage ejector systems, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and all permit requirements.
About This Service
Adding a bathroom to your basement transforms it from unfinished storage space into a functional living area. Whether you need a half bath for convenience or a full bathroom with a shower, a basement bathroom significantly increases the usability and value of your below-grade space.
Basement bathrooms present unique plumbing challenges because the drain lines are typically below the main sewer line. We install sewage ejector pump systems that reliably handle waste removal from below-grade fixtures. This is combined with proper waterproofing, ventilation, and moisture-resistant materials designed specifically for basement environments.
Every basement bathroom project includes permit filing, plumbing rough-in, electrical work, waterproofing, tile installation, and fixture setting. We handle everything from the initial plan to the final inspection.

Basement Bathroom Addition in Passaic & Bergen County FAQs
Do I need a sewage ejector pump for a basement bathroom?
In most cases, yes. If your basement floor is below the sewer line, a sewage ejector pump is required to move waste up to the main drain. We install sealed, vented ejector systems that meet NJ plumbing code.
Can I add a shower to a basement bathroom?
Yes. We install full showers including waterproofing, tile, glass enclosures, and proper drainage. The shower drain connects to the ejector system for homes where gravity drainage is not possible.
How much does a basement bathroom cost?
A basic half bath (toilet and sink) typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000. A full bathroom with shower ranges from $15,000 to $35,000 depending on finishes and ejector system requirements. We provide a detailed estimate after assessment.
