Zero cycle of sewage in the house

An important stage in the construction of the foundation is the laying of the zero cycle of the sewage system.

The zero cycle is the pipe that passes under the slab of the house and connects all the risers into a single network and then goes out into the street, under the foundation into the septic tank.

When arranging this stage, mistakes are often made. Therefore, we will now point out the most important points that should not be neglected.

First, always maintain the slope of the sewer pipe. The optimal drop is 1.5 centimeters per 1 linear meter. In order not to be mistaken, when marking and use a laser level.

The pipe is laid only on compacted soil, or it is mounted on an already finished foundation wall.

The next important point is the arrangement of cleaning points (revisions). They should be located every 10 - 15 meters of running pipes. This will save you from unnecessary problems when operating the system.

Correct pipe connection. When installing pipes, leave a gap of 0.5 -1 centimeter between the pipe joints. This is done so that during the natural movement of the pipe in the ground, all vibrations are compensated by these gaps.

Stick to these recommendations, and the operation of the sewage system in the house will not give you a hassle.
