Just realised that this thread is in the arms - so this type of thing probably isn't an issue - apologies.

Maybe this will be of use to you. I can't find my own guide, but if I do I'll mail it.

is it combined wastewater and sewerage? if so it doesn't necessarily need to join the stack it could run between the joists and join a downpipe for rainwater. worth checking out.....

Interesting thought.

How do you check this out?

lift the manhole covers, run the sink, flush the bog, put hose pipe down guttering and see where they all come out.

I know there is a website that will give an idea of what drains the property is likely to have based on the age of property and area etc. it is not a definitive answer but gives a guide, I can't remember what it's called, possibly this will prompt someone else to provide the name.
