Your home improvement warehouse store or bathroom contractor should have "flush-up" toilet kits (sewage ejector pump, Qwik Jon is one I have installed. These are very handy where no sewer is available for standard toilet installation. The kit consists mainly of a tank and pump that will carry waste to the existing sewer lines and misc. parts and installation instructions. You provide the toilet and PVC from tank to sewer. They run about $800-$1000 depending on your needs (toilet only, or toilet, lav, & shower configuration). These require a GFCI outlet nearby so you may need an electrician, the rest is very easy. Good luck. In addition to the installation instructions I would recommend installing a "clean-out" in your PVC, especially if you are pumping a considerable distance, in case a clog develops.
The man who invented the toilet--John Harrington--was an English nobleman. The infamous Thomas Crapper didn't invent the toilet, but he DID invent, among other plumbing products, the drain trap--a more important product than the toilet, as it made plumbing safe to have in your home. The trap keeps poisonous sewer gas from entering your house.
To vent off odors emanating from the septic/sewer system and to allow the toilet to flush correctly and the other drains to empty correctly.
some people flush their fish down the toilet when it dies, and the toilet is connected to the sewer.
Sounds like the trap in the sink is getting the water pulled out of it. It probably wasn't vented properly.
You must be able to do various plumbing-related tasks, including but not limited to: repairing or replacing broken water pipes / sewer pipes, installing complete plumbing for new structures, clearing clogs from drain pipes, installing toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other water-related appliances.
the toilet overflows if either the building sewer, branch line in your sewer system or trap in your toilet gets clogged.
It is not recommended to flush paper towels down the toilet as they do not break down easily in water like toilet paper. Flushing paper towels can lead to clogs in plumbing or sewer systems. It is best to dispose of paper towels in the trash.
If you wanna make an omelet, you gotta crack some eggs. You are going to get a bit dirty, but no prob. You'll need to establish where your water supply is coming from, where you want the toilet located, the sink and shower, if you are installing one. You'll need an electric jack-hammer. You'll need to locate the closest sewer run to your project. If you can, send me a diagram of your desired project and I'll make a suggestion or two that may help. Recent technology has afforded homeowners and businesses the opportunity to install a toilet without running a plumbing line. To find a vendor near you search the web for keywords: "toilet no plumbing lines."

Alexander Cummings, not a country, patented the design for a flush toilet first. The S-shaped design that would give rise to the toilet prevented sewer gases from entering buildings. This design would later be modified as a U or J-shaped pipe trap located within plumbing fixtures.
