Yep , I will be tying in a sink into the drain and that's it I think.
So should I need to add a tank ( like a French drain tank ) and just run off that like a real septic system is?
Or would just splitting it up into 2 4" lines work ? Running them 10' each.

No i dont think u need a tank. I wud dig a pit and line it w landscape fabric run ur pipe to it and fill it w 3/4 minus or larger stone. Assuming u have good drainage where u r i think a 3 or 4 ft cubed pit wud be good.

Haha, I only got about 10' today and started to hit harder ground.
So tomorrow I go rent a Ditch Witch and finish this ditch and go ahead and dig my septic/sewer line.

There ya go....thats just as well.

When u put in ur floor drain make sure u mortise out the subfloor to accommodate the height of the drain and install it in the lowest part of the floor

[stonestacker]

You boys have it under control. This old man is going to bed.
Oh I would have rented the ditch witch first lol.

 

[str8smokn]

Just do it on a smaller scale, instead of half a 4' pipe , I would use a 4" pipe cut in half and just lay it on the ground floor . Then back fill.

That's what is coming off of the tank itself, those are the leach lines. There's 200' of it I had to add.

That def seems more expensive and labor intensive than a pit full of rock tho, str8....

I bought the house with a new Addition added on and they didn't upsize when they added a master bath and laundry room.
That's what is called for by code now, no more ditch with rock in it.
That's what my old lines are.
