Hey, this is my first time on this forum, glad I found it!
I am starting my initial planning on turning our shed out back, which is due for a complete rebuild into a "mother in law suite".
Its a good size shed now, im going to extend the slab a bit and make a little studio that could also double as a home office down the road. The main issue I see is the drain to the septic tank.
My yard is a 1/3 acre rectangle, the shed is currently in the very back of the yard on the right and side. The septic is in the front yard on the left side.
I haven't measured yet but i'm estimating the distance to be ~150 feet. The input drain to the septic is about 12-18" deep. I don't figure ill be able to get enough slope out of the drain to have it reliably run the distance.
Im assuming this means ill need a sump to help push it the rest of the way, the thing is I don't know anything about them. Google is making me a bit more confused because I see sump's are used for many different things, none of which (that I have found) are used for what I need.
Any input, advice, places to look for good info?
Water source isn't an issue as the water softener/pressure tank is all currently in the shed, the well is right next to the shed.
Thanks in advance
