"We had 2 projects completed by Rick and Nick, first was a drain leak and second to replace a cracked toilet and all the drain traps. Both visits, they were prompt and practically perfect. They were professional and left all of the work areas clean. I highly recommend Hilltop Drain and Plumbing and will continue to use them for all plumbing projects in the future."

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.
Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.
The cost of making a bathroom accessible can be $3,000 to $25,000, but you could spend as much as $50,000 building a brand-new ADA-compliant bathroom. Some bathroom accessibility upgrades to consider include:
Installing grab bars: $100–$500
Lowering cabinets and vanities: $1,200–$2,500
Installing modified doors: $700–$1,500
Installing a modified toilet: $400–$1,000
Installing an accessible sink and faucet: $100–$1,000
Adding a walk-in tub: $1,100–$17,000
Converting a bathtub into a walk-in tub: $350–$1,000
Installing a wheelchair-accessible shower: $2,000–$7,500
Installing a shower ramp: $16–$300
You should choose the type of toilet that meets your budget, fits properly in your space, and matches the rest of your decor. If you’ve never gone toilet shopping before, you might be surprised at how many options are available. Most homeowners choose a two-piece toilet, which is the industry standard, and a gravity flush system is the most common. However, dual-flush and low-flush toilets are becoming more prevalent as more people become conscious of water consumption.
If a toilet is not properly vented, you could experience issues like poor drainage, slow flushing, frequent clogs, malfunctioning traps, gurgling noises, and the release of sewer gasses. If left untreated, all of these issues could lead to longer term structural damage or (in the case of sewer gasses) harmful health side effects.
