Hello all…I'm in need of some good advice.
My home was built with the sewer line half-way up the basement wall, which means I have no floor drains in my basement that goes to the sewer. The floor drains I have empty into a french drain under my slab.
When we moved into this house the water softener drained into this drywell when it recharged. But after flooding my basement a couple of times I decided I'd rather have hard water than a wet basement. I'm not sure what the previous owners did but it's obvious there had been water problems in the past.
Anyways, I bypassed the water softener and am now trying to figure out how to drain to the sewer for a permanent fix.
Please take a look at the drawing I've done. This is the closest to the water softner. (And it's not to scale of course).
My first thought is to put a stand pipe, with a P trap, on the end with the P trap dumping into the top of a new Sani-T which will then be the cleanout.
The vent is around four feet above where the new trap will be. Is this a problem? Should I have a T for a vent after the P trap?
Does anyone have a better way of doing this?
Thanks for your help…I appreciate it.
