Hello everyone.
Our house is built, all connections (water, electricity) are in place and everything inside is okay so that we can move in next week.
Today: wastewater connection. According to the drainage plan (approved by the city), a pipe goes from the utility room to the outside (bundling the wastewater from bathroom (upper floor), utility room and guest WC), another one from the kitchen.
The civil engineers are digging and digging and cannot find the pipe from the utility room – instead, they find one at the guest WC (and the one from the kitchen).
The result: they have to lay less wastewater piping, and a manhole at the corner of the house is no longer needed.
At first, I’m happy because it will be cheaper.
BUT: now the guys are scaring me because the wastewater does not exit the house "via the shortest route," but diagonally through the utility room and guest WC and then outside.
:(
Apparently, floors have already had to be broken up because of this. :confused: :eek:
Our site manager is already taking care of it, but I’m asking around: how likely is it that the “official” will insist on the regulation? The wastewater pipes lie under the slab. Breaking up would mean: through tile, screed, underfloor heating, insulation, structural floor...
Will the bureaucracy make a big fuss or will we get off with a “minor scratch”?
