Can you put a raised floor in?

You would want to dig at least enough of a hole to put a sump in. Then you could pump it, just like a basement.

I'm sure it has been done before....Youtube it!

Dave how close can you get it to the sink rase it off the floor enough to run your drain to the sink and build a cover to go over the pipe along the bottom of the wall.You can get a fiberglass shower from lowes or home depo.We have did this in cargo trailers to get to the tank under the floor.


You could use something like this.

YES ... I have a friend with his shop shower raised 8 inches and a plastic square tub under it with a boat bilge pump for evacuation.

Like this idea. I stubbed in drains before pour but didn't think of shower. I have to walk across carpet to get to my house shower or bathroom. I might look into it after I get bathroom started

There are showers that have a sump built in with a pump and you just need to tie them into a 1 1/2" drain line. Check for basement showers or below grade shower. They even have toilets that do the same thing. I will try and find the name. Any good plumbing supply company should be able to find you one.

Found a good forum for u ..Terry Love's DIY....look up basement shower...

I am sorry about the information I should have checked before I posted. They do not make these anymore. I guess it was a little farther back than I thought. But... check out Sani-flo.com they have pumps that sit on the floor or behind walls that will pump everything into a 1 1/2" line. You would have to raise the shower base up enough for the drain and an elbow. Some 2x4's and some tile will make it look nice.

Dave,
I just saw a tv commercial for theese. So I assume they still available.
Try the big box stores, home depot etc.
