Hi all.
Planning my extension and need some advice on how to reroute my drainage. (see attachment for existing drain runs)
The extension is planned to be full width, and the house is terraced.
I am aware that the sewer is public and that Thames Water will not approve an inspection chamber within the extension itself. With the house being terraced and the extension full width it will not be possible to move the inspection chamber further along the run.
I know I can move the inspection chamber outside of the extension foot print with a Y connection to allow rodding, but this does not solve the problem of having rodding access to the existing connections.
Note that the middle of the three connections will be redundant once the extension is built.
I have spoken to the next door neighbours as they have already done a similar extension, but they were unable to offer much in the way of information
Advice and inspiration would be greatly appreciated before I go to Thames Water.
Cheers!
