sewage....

giesha

Hi all, .
how you doing.?

sorry for not a nice topic to talk about, but i need a bit of help please.

i brought a bungalow that was built in 1900's ,( when not sure,) i buy it 10 - 13 years ago, & it was sold / on estate agency sale for as - 3bed, kit' , main elec' , main water, & ...main sewage.

we have been here for above years, & no problems with any blockages...nothing of this nature. ...till now......
so....

in our area we have some homes with septic tanks & some main line.

a old-ish guy down the road said to me that our home may be on septic tank & but he's not sure.

i have not noticed any tell-tale signs of tank, we have main line sewage in the area..next door is on it.

i have screw rod -rodded (chimney rod) the line from our home & it seems like it goes into a septic tank, but...big but , i dont no were the tank is....totaly no idea.

pre 1970's reg specify 60 feet from home. (which im told) & when i rod, the rod seems to come to a blockage or solid at around give or take this distance.

i have tried to find a concrete / stone (lid)..(taking into consideration my time here that the lid may be under ground now with growth) so i got a steel rod & stabbed the ground till the rod goes upto about 1 foot in.. & i have tried the screw rod length ( which is 60-ish feet) & i have tried below & above this 60-ish feet stabbing the grass ground & no luck in finding a lid of any kind, & from what i can think of is this lid / tank should be about about 6 x 3 foot in size.

any ideas PLEASE.........

also,,//

if i call the county council will they know if im on main line.?

& ..&

will the solicitors that dealt with the sale / perchase of home have plans of the home that show sewer pipes.?

.im trying to get my head around this before i call in the dyno rod lads or council lads.

thanks for any help...ideas...info... thanks.

I think you got the wrong Forum. Maybe a mod could move this so you can get the answers your looking for.

Why does everyone quote the op in this forum? Isn't it obvious who the reply is for?
