ServicesBasement Bathrooms
Basement bathroom design and construction.
Adding a bathroom to your basement, from a budget-friendly half bath to a full bath with a shower.
What we handle
Everything a basement bathroom needs.
Building a bathroom in a basement comes with its own challenges, from drains below the sewer line to moisture. We plan for them from the start.
- 01
Site assessment
We check where your main drain and sewer line run, and how far they are from where you want the bathroom.
- 02
Basement bathroom design
We plan a layout that fits the space, ceiling height, and budget, and keeps the plumbing runs as short as possible.
- 03
Drains and pumps
Drains cut into the slab, or an up-flush or sewage ejector system when the drain is too high for gravity.
- 04
Moisture control
Vapor barriers, mold-resistant materials, and ventilation that keep a below-grade bathroom dry.
- 05
Framing, electrical, and permits
New walls, protected outlets, lighting, and a vented exhaust fan, with the permits and inspections handled for you.
- 06
Showers, toilets, and vanities
Full or half bath fixtures, chosen to suit how you will use the space.

How long does adding a bathroom to a basement take?
Most basement bathrooms take a few weeks. Cutting concrete for drains and waiting on inspections are the biggest factors.
Can I build a basement bathroom on a budget?
Yes. A half bath placed close to your existing plumbing is the most budget-friendly option, and an up-flush toilet can avoid most of the concrete work. We will price a few options for you.
Can I add a bathroom if there is no plumbing in my basement?
Usually, yes. We can tie into your main drain or install a pump system if the drain is higher than the floor.
Should I add a full bath or a half bath?
A half bath is simpler and costs less. A full bath adds more value if the basement has a bedroom or guest space.
How do you keep a basement bathroom from feeling damp?
We use moisture-resistant materials and a properly vented exhaust fan, and we check for existing water issues before building.
