I've a manhole in our utility room, which was years back outside then part of the garage, and we're thinking of getting an extension.

Does the manhole need to be moved to outside? I've had conflicting advice on this.

If it can stay, what type of grease would be good to seal it?

Thanks,


Mark

Couple of considerations, is it a shared sewer or a private drain? Can access be built into the new extension design?

@Hugh Jaleak is a good chap to comment when it comes to drains/manholes.

It's private, and currently in utility room so we have access. I'm happy with it where it is.
 
I was told that grease can be used to make it airtight?
Shame that the person who told you that couldn't tell you what grease.
Should be a manufacturer name somewhere call and ask them. Being inside I would like to think that you can.
 
Thanks for all the replies and advice, much appreciated. This forum is great!
