We are installing a small kitchen in the basement. There is a full bathroom in the other corner of the area, same side as the planned kitchen. I could use some experienced recommendations for the kitchen plumbing … do we have the contractors dig up the concrete floor OR do we use a pump for the sink (only a sink will be installed, no dishwasher). This is the last issue we need a decision on to start the renovations, which are a few weeks behind because we need some advise here. The basement kitchen will not be used that often and, for expenses sake, I feel the pump would fit the bill. Any reason why not?
Plumbing – use a pump to discharge kitchen sink waste water, rather than digging up the concrete

I'd really need pictures to answer properly, But it is entirely possible that you wouldn't even need a pump. Your kitchen sink should be high enough that you can run a properly sloped horizontal run to connect to the drain pipe behind the kitchen sink.
