Tell me if this is possible. I moved into my first house which has a
finished basement. The problem is, the unfinished part of the basement
(the section that has the washer/dryer) is on the opposite side of the
basement as the septic tank. The previous owner has the washing machine
drain into a septic pump which shoots the waste water up over the
finished part of the basement and down into the septic pipe on the
opposite part of the basement. This cross pipe is a PVC pipe that runs
just abnove the suspending ceiling (along the floor rafters of the main
floor). My question is, can the washing machine drain into this pipe
at ceiling height? This cross pipe is at a slight slope (goes down
about 1 foot over 25 feet length) towards the septic tank. So
basically, can the washing machine crain into a pipe about 7 feet from
the ground? Probably not? Thanks!!
