Best Answer

This could be an old floor drain. Check to see if you have another floor drain in a different part of the basement.

...It's not a drain. That is a rough-in or prepared area to install a bathtub or shower. It is normanlly a squared off hole near some other PVC pipe stubs sticking up for toilet and sink connections.

Where can I find a manual for installing a sump pump?

To avoid a basement flood, installing a sump pump is a must. First mark an outline of the sump basin on the floor. Next dig a hole large enough to fit the basin making sure it is flush with the floor. Wrap the basin with filter fabric. Set the basin in the hole with a few inches of gravel inside. Put stone paver on the gravel. Put the pump on the paver. Connect valve and PVC pipe to pump, and then run the pipe up the closest wall. You may need to drill a hole to run the pipe outside. Fill around the basin with concrete, and smooth it out. Plug the pump and test it by filling the basin with water.

How do you plumb a toilet in a basement using just the stack?

Build a platform to raise it 12 inches above the floor. Build a wall and use a wall hung one. Break out the floor and plumb a new drain. Those are the options. You can get a sewage pump to pump it out, but you would still need to bust out a section of the floor to make a hole for it. Like an over sized sump hole.

How do you add a drain in a basement that does not have one?

its not easy but if you can locate your main drain pipe and its below your basement floor then saw cut up the floor and attach the floor drain to the trap and then tie on to the main line using the same pipe or adapters. If you have no main drain under your basement floor then you will need to saw cut a hole for a sump pump pit or basin and install the sump pump to your main drain line which has to be installed so your sump pump line runs higher then your main line before wyeing to the main line. then cut up the floor to where u want your floor drain and run the drain to your sump pump basin . Some states want a vent on your floor drain and on your sump basin so I would check what your local codes are.

How do you make a basement on sims 3?

This is possible, but it isn't supposed to be. First, use the terrain tools to make a square hole where you want the basement to be. Make sure to measure it somehow, so that it's the perfect size. Then, use the flattern terrian tool and drag from the middl of the basement to each of the four corners. Now build the floor. Just to let you know, the walls don't work so if you want a basement you can only have a basement and nothing else. Try experimenting to see what works for you. Hope I helped!
