soil pipe plumbing
[Default] On Fri, 28 Mar 2014 21:40:19 +0000, a certain chimpanzee,

Could you add a bath, basin, or shower to the front of the house if
the soil pipe was to the back?
Is the ground floor a timber-joisted floor with a void below? If so,
install an internal soil stack to the first floor to a new branch
under the ground floor. Take it either directly to a new inspection
chamber on the existing drain to the rear, or onto a new connection
onto the existing soil stack. The new stack will need to be
ventilated; either an open vent 900mm above the uppermost windows, or
an air-admittance (a.k.a., a "Durgo") valve.
If its not a joisted floor, the above could still be done but it would
involve digging up the ground floor slab.
