Sewerage project for a private house

When building a private house before the future owner, there is often a question about how to properly arrange the sewage system. After all, the convenience in the street is not the best way to make your home comfortable.

The simplicity of its use and maintenance in the future largely depends on how correctly the sewerage project will be selected. To arrange this engineering system, like most others, is best at the stage of construction. In a finished house it will be more difficult to hold it, because such work is often associated with breaking floors, making appropriate changes in the foundation of the house, etc.

The sewerage project should be designed in compliance with all relevant rules and regulations. In private homes, most often an autonomous sewage system is arranged. Usually this is due to the fact that in villages and towns centralized communications are a rare phenomenon, and therefore, there is really nothing to connect with.

In this case, a cesspool is set up, which should be no less than 5 meters from the living quarters. Its volume for private houses averages 1.5 m3. When installing the sediment bowl, it should be possible to access the sewage machine.

In addition, the sewerage system of the house must be designed in such a way as to exclude the interaction of sewage with tap water. There are several important points that need to be considered when drafting. First, it is not allowed to conduct sewer pipes on the ceiling of living rooms. You can not also lay them in the walls and floors of living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens.

The main elements that includes any sewerage project are the riser and pipes connecting it with objects intended for use directly (sinks, toilet bowls, bathtubs, etc.). There are certain rules according to which the thickness of the riser and pipes in this case , If they are connected to the toilet, must be at least 10 cm in the remaining cases - not less than 5 cm. The slope of the discharge pipes in the direction of the drain water drain must be not less than 0.033 g.

Sewage systems are arranged using cast iron, steel, plastic pipes. Previously, mainly cast iron products were used for this purpose. They are quite reliable and durable. In our time, more popular are plastic pipes. In addition to reliability, they also have a number of advantages - the ability to absorb noise, ease of installation, resistance to the effects of the most common chemicals, etc. The only thing to consider is the exposure of polypropylene and polyethylene to UV rays. To conduct such pipes is better hidden - inside the floors and walls.

It is best if the sewerage project is developed by specialists. However, for a small house to make a plan for conducting a sewage system , you can do it yourself. It is only necessary to take into account all the rules and requirements provided for this account. If everything is done carefully and thoughtfully, the sewerage in a private house will last for many years, without creating unnecessary problems for the owner.
