Hi all,
I am adding an extension to my house and need to move the soil pipe that goes from my bathroom to a brick built septic tank in my garden. I have exposed the existing pipe and have found that it is very shallow. Probably 4" to the top of the pipe in some places. I wont be able to bury it any deeper either in the new proposed route. The current pipe is 6" thick wall clay and I intend to use 110mm PVC for the new layout.
Will the lack of depth be a problem? I read somewhere that you can cover the pipe with a concrete slab. Is this correct?
Many thanks
Mark Smith
