This drainage goes to a canal connecting many houses grey water. This canal ends in the nature 😨 As far as I know only our poop water goes into the septic tank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, that's why the family use the big tabo buckets with lids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have personal knowledge of lazy contractors cutting corners and connecting sinks and even a shower in one case to the septic as it provided the easiest and cheapest plumbing route to take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting corners is something I have realized was being done in our house when it was built 18 years ago, but in this case we can actually see the water coming out in the canal when we use the shower or kitchen sink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see. Our grey water flows into the sewar drain in the road so we cannot see it. After learning from a neighbour's experience where the contractor had plumbed the downstairs CR into the septic (toilet/shower and basin) I checked and was able to confirm all showers and basins were flowing into the main drain - I was able to listen to confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
