Nothing else in manhole apart from the bottom runs looking like this, the top pipe points towards the soil stack in the house.

Not sure how I could tell, there isn't any inspection chambers before the manhole.

If the floor is all good, builder seems to think it screeded then concrete and underneath that just hardcore. Can anyone see any glaring issues with my rather crude drawing - builder knows exactly what type of connections etc are needed.

Thanks for all the replies everyone greatly appreciated. How about staying inside instead, here's a crude diagram from the under stairs proposed toilet to the existing stack inside a wooden box going down the inside of the kitchen wall. Would it be easier to dig inside total length is only...

What benefit would that give - allowing to use a rainwater drain for the waste to connect to ?

Thanks - any idea where to find the drainage map - local council or somwhere else ? I was led to believe the local authority would only show the main drainage not the actual private pipe flows on the property Bottom of manhole is flowing like this with the top pipe pointing directly towards the...

Another angle showing the next drain in line and how far out from the house it comes.

I was pretty surprised how far it went down when I lifted the slab - it may be more like 8 to 10 feet - not something easy to work in the bottom at all though.

I think the house was built in the early 90s. I really don't want a macerator as I'm adding the toilet to sell the property on and a lot of people have issues with them coming to sell from what I see on property sites, a single toilet in a three bedroom house isn't ideal so really wanted to add...

Think its solid concrete so would be quite a job

Is there a possibility of digging down say 2 feet in front of the house then under the house to the down pipe and connect in that way ?

No ladder inside its rectangular around 2.5 feet wide sort of large paving slab size, you can see on the photo where the left side red line ends is the top of it in front of the front door.

Cheers Johnny - how do you get to the stack box without digging up the floors inside the house to connect into it. I was thinking it would be easier to connect outside but worried the pipe would be laid 3.5 meters down as well. It would have to run through the hallway and into the kitchen to get...

Hi all I'm currently in the early planing stages to fit an under stairs toilet (outside wall on left side of house is stairs) and after speaking to building regs my initial thoughts of laying an underground pipe on the left into the sewer may be problematic as it is a shared sewer and will need...
