Sewerage in the bath with their own hands
Any modern residential building, whether it is a private house, cottage or a bath, needs sewerage. As with all construction, this functional part needs to be approached with all seriousness. Is it seriously to know in advance that sewage wastes will not be sent to the designated reservoir and still do work on the boom? No! Therefore, you need to understand this issue thoroughly. Is it possible to make a canalization in the bath with my own hands? Yes!
We do not steal the floor in the bath first. To begin with it is necessary to conduct a qualitative water supply and a sewerage tap. Tight floor in the bath is mandatory. With slots between the boards you can figure out, tightly clinging to the obviously aligned wooden beams. The slope of the floor must be directed towards the drain, only do not overdo it, otherwise it will be unsafe to move around the bath or shower room. The grating covering the drain drainage chute is installed at the end of the floor installation. The water from the gutter will drain into the sewer pipe, and then along it into the drainage well. It is better to take pipes for this purpose from asbestos or galvanized iron. If finances permit, it is possible to purchase stainless steel pipes. The main thing is not plastic, otherwise because of hot water they can deform.
Well for sewerage
The drainage well must be excavated near the bath. Two meters from the building should be enough. Dimensions of the pit can vary with the calculation of the intensity of use of the shower and depending on the characteristics of the soil. If the soil freezes to 70-80 cm, then the depth of the pit at a width of 1x1 m should be 1.30 - 1.80 m.
The bottom of the well is filled with crushed stone, expanded clay or other material with drainage properties. The level of backfilling also depends on the level of freezing - if the ground freezes by 60 cm, then about 1 m of drainage material should be covered. The rest of the space is filled with soil and densely packed. Qualitative work is the most important condition. Violating the technology of the drainage system, you can ensure the closure of the bath for the entire cold season. Dampness to the tree is not a friend - the floor will deteriorate faster if it freezes.

Direct flow system
Low permeability of water through the ground can be a good reason for abandoning the pit to collect sewage. In this case, straight-through will help. This means the extraction of waste water far beyond the bath. To organize this venture, you need to dig a pit, which can be made from almost any improvised materials. An important condition for it is tightness, otherwise it can provide all the "floating noses" with an unpleasant odor. From the pit, the water will flow down the slope. Such structures must be equipped with a water seal.
Water Shutter
The inlet of the spillway is carried out at a height of 10-12 cm from the bottom of the pit. To it from three sides plates( without the bottom fastening) are established. This plate should not reach to the bottom about -6 cm. So the water seal is formed. He does not allow smells to rise back to the bath.
What is important, is to equip the sewer with a ventilation riser. The same asbestos or metal pipe is perfect for this. The diameter is no more than 10 cm. A cap is needed on the upper part of the pipe.
High-density polyethylene pipes are the most effective material for sewerage. When using this universal material, you can connect to the sewer steam room, dressing room, shower room and even a bathroom.
Three
sewer systems Connected to a common network, gravity or non-pressure sewage can be made by hand. To install internal sewerage units, thin-walled( up to 3.6 mm) non-pressure pipes made of plastic( diameter 60-100 mm) can be used. Connect them with each other by specially designed seals to ensure that the integrity of the entire system is not violated. The higher the density of pipes, the better.
The tap plan should be made with as few branches as possible. The sewage collector is withdrawn from the room into the exhaust pipe recessed into the ground( below the freezing level).From the discharge pipe, the sewage enters the well, and then into the sewerage network.
