2021 Atelier Waste Pipes
When the main house roof was fixed, we then noticed an issue with the toilet in the Atelier. Upon further investigation we found a several challenges.
- The machinery used to lift the material up to the roof had crushed the sewage pipes.
- The shower tray was not actually connected to the waste pipe.
- The shower water if it actually arrived in the pipe, plus the sink and the washing machine water were all going directly into the rain water drainage out to the front and not the fosse-septic.
- When the new sewage pipe was laid, we discovered the rain water drainage from the side entrance was going directly into the fosse.
