Getting the right drainage

Foul or surface water?

Foul (sewage) and surface water often need to go to different places. Check where your drains connect before you order.

Building over or near a sewer

Building near a public sewer may need permission from the water company. Check before you dig.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Underground Drainage questions

Can I connect to the public sewer?
