Installing a new waste pipe

[jonboy2000]

I am looking to put an offer in on a property (in France).  In order to generate some income from the property I'd like to convert the "games room" into a holiday let.  There waste system runs through the centre of the property so I guess this would mean installing a new waste pipe to connect to the drains outside (marked in a red square).

Ideally I'd like to install it at location "A" but this would mean running the waste pipe for some distance.  The other option is to run it to location "B".

Is either of these options in any way feasible or is is just not practical to run a waste pipe horizontally for that distance?  Would that be a very costly project (any rough idea of price would be good).

I don't really want to go down the Saniflow route.

It's not really possible to say without knowing how deep the drains are at the point you'd be connecting: the limiting factor for any drainage run is the gradient of the pipe.

 

Do you have any information on the routing of the existing drains outside the property - might there be an opportunity to connect to the pipe underground nearer than those connection points?

 

I'm also not sure whether France uses combined (foul & rainwater in one pipe) or separate drains: the photo looks like there's a rainwater downpipe at the bottom right corner of the house, if you were able to connect there (depending on depth) that would reduce the length of run.

 

Would you be planning to run in a straight line under the floor from point A to the front of the property, or would you have to go round the outside?

Or that part of France or what the Mayor thinks.

I've been involved once and it was surprisingly informal in a good way. Local contacts helped.

Discuss with the selling agency...they might have into or contacts.

 

I was going to say that you always have Saniflo as the worst case, but not if M. le Maire ne ce l'aimez pas. Rearrange words as necessary.

Thanks for the tips.  I was going to ask about the drain layout outside.  I didn't notice that the down pipe was nearer than the the actual drain.  I would assume it would be better to run in a straight line if possible rather than add bends to the system.

[andyscotland]

Yes, the fewer bends the better. If you do have bends then (in the UK at least) you'd need to have inspection chambers or an alternative way of getting rodding access at every change of direction.
