OTHER NONTRADITIONAL HOMES
Since the real estate market started heating up and as the pandemic lingers, alternative housing op- tions are seriously trending. Remote work has
opened possibilities for living almost anywhere, even while traveling, which has led to increased interest in options like tiny houses.
Summer Soft Washing!
A recent survey by Fidelity National Financial sub- sidiary IPX1031 found that over half (56%) of survey respondents would consider living in a tiny house. Even more surprising, 86% of people who were not homeowners said they would consider a tiny house as their first home purchase and 84% said a tiny home was an option they would consider for retirement. Other al- ternatives like modular homes, trailers and converted vans have emerged as potential alternatives for anyone alarmed by exorbitant home prices, rising mortgage rates and soaring utility costs — and for those seeking a greener lifestyle.
Nontraditional homes offer benefits including econ- omy, mobility (tiny houses with wheels or vans, for example), simplicity and sustainability. But they also present challenges. Beyond learning to de-clutter and simplify, you also have to learn how to meet essential needs, including most importantly: plumbing. Any liv- ing situation requiring above-floor plumbing solutions demands extra thought, so that whatever space you call home is livable, practical — and comfortable.
Fortunately, implementing plumbing in a nontradi- tional home or even a portable setting is easier than ever, thanks to the development of user-friendly prod- ucts that make workable bathrooms, kitchens and laun- dries possible for almost any setting.
For tiny homes, modular homes or other kinds of nontraditional housing, today’s effective above-floor plumbing technology can improve water conserva- tion. Macerators, grinders and drain pumps designed for small spaces allow you to install efficient plumbing systems virtually anywhere, even portable bathrooms.

INNOVATIVE BATHROOM SOLUTIONS
Having to connect to a septic system 100 feet away, which was too far for conventional drainage, tiny home builders Mario and Ciarra Soto chose an option that offered the convenience of a traditional flushing toilet. Because tiny homes like theirs aren’t usually connect- ed to a municipal sewer system, the Sotos had to figure out how to connect to their nearby property’s septic
