Hello, I'm going to be adding a bathroom to a building behind my house. It has a crawl space but I can't quite figure out the best way to run the drain pipe and water lines through the yard to the existing drain pipe and water pipes used for the house. I have included a diagram for better understanding. Can someone please advise the proper turns to prevent clogs and also how far should the water pipes be from the drain pipe (if any)? Thank you

Steve

If the septic tank has a side inlet I would run the waste line from the new building into the side of the tank.

Thanks for the reply. It would be much easier for me to tap into the existing sewer line. Is that possible a n d will it work properly?

You won't want to run the new sewer pipe through the leach field. So you might want to add the leach field to your sketch.

Thank you for your reply. I have added a new picture with more detailed info on the septic system. I'm not sure how close the leech field is to the building but they are somewhere close. Thanks
