I plan to change the location of the kitchen waste pipe and need to install the appropriate drain externally to link up with the sewer.
Here is a picture of the back of the house which shows the two gullies and soil pipe.
Here is a rough schematic showing the current drainage layout.
The house is built on a slope and falls about 6 bricks in height (it's a 1950's ex council house).
Currently there are 4 inputs leading to the sewer (1 x gully for kitchen waste, 1 x gully for bath waste, 1 x upstairs toilet and 1 x outside toilet). There is also a rain gully that doesn't flow into the sewer so I assume this leads to a soak away (I think this was built during the 1990 garage extension).
The new kitchen drain will exit the house next to the current rain gully (leading to the soak away). Can anyone recommend how I should link the new kitchen waste to the main sewer?
I think I have the following options:
1) Straight pipe to the man hole, this is the old brick style. This seems the simple option although I am not sure how to go about this.
2) Dig down to the outside toilet pipe and branch in
3) Dig down to the current branch used by the gullies and branch in.
It would neaten things up if I could run the new waste and existing rain pipe into the sewer, otherwise I will have two drains right next to each other. I don't think this is allowed though.... In additon I know that messing around with drains might need an inspection.......
Thanks in advance for your help.[/img]
