    Waste System Questions

    Thanks for putting thought into this, wjcandee. I honestly don't know for sure where the grey water goes from the sink, shower, and laundry. I assumed it was the old septic tank. I know that I ran the water for a long period of time, with the lid of the sewer holding tank in the back yard...

    Waste System Questions

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with a project and hope I can get some feedback. I'm a DIY who learns mostly by reading forums, so I'm not an experienced plumber, though I have replaced supply and drain lines before. Here's my long story: I've got a small cottage (800 sq ft) in a...
