Home Drainage
Drainage
For the majority of houses built in the UK before the 1960s, the waste water from a household is split and drained in 2 distinct ways:

Waste water from baths, sinks and washbasins is drained into a trapped gully at ground level, which in turn flows into the main sewage network.

Water from toilets feeds seperately into a large bore vertical waste pipe which runs directly into the sewage network.

Modern houses now operate a 'single stack waste system', whereby all waste water, irrespective of it's point of origin, drains directly into the main sewer network via a large bore waste pipe.
