Sorry this is SO boring but I’m a bit lost and not sure who to ask for advice on this. We live in a Victorian terraced house. All the other houses have their kitchens at the back. Ours is as the front. This probably should have rung some alarm bells but unfortunately I didn’t hear them [sad] We have recently discovered that our kitchen sink and washing machine drain into a soakaway, rather than into the main sewage system. Probably due to time and it being completely inappropriate for the job, the drain has become blocked and will flood our front path if I use the washing machine or sink. I have to assume a previous owner of the house moved the kitchen and didn’t consider drainage. The current situation is illegal so we need to rectify it ASAP. We had a survey undertaken prior to buying the house and under drains, it says that a full drain inspection wasn’t undertaken, but that the drains all lead to the main sewers! This is not the case! Has anyone else experienced similar? Where do I stand legally? Anywhere? Do I need to speak to a solicitor? Am clueless [blush][blush]
