I live in a rural area with a septic system and the house was built in the early fifties. Everything works fine except kitchen sink and dishwasher drain goes out the wall straight down into the ground and then runs under a concrete pad. Scoping has determined that the galvanized pipe Has Broken under the concrete.
It would be extremely costly to get to and fix this pipe. The outlet at the house is very accessible. My question as if I were to use PVC or abs to carry the water into a 4 foot long bye 3 foot wide by 3 foot deep Gravel pit would you foresee the small amounts of grease and food that would be swept down the drain causing issues? It would more than likely receive at Absolute maximum less than 5 gallons of water per day. It is a mix of clay and l o a m according to the survey and the Gravel Pit would be situated well above the water table. The plumber who ran the scope does not see it as being a problem. I just wanted to check and see if anyone here could offer and alternative or better solution that does not involve tying the pipe back into the septic system.
