I'm plumbing from the house to my septic tank. Using 4" ABS pipe, the drop from where the pipe leaves the house to the septic tank is about 4' over a 110' run. Roughly 2x the recommended drop. I'm in Mexico, so there is no code.
Do I put a 45 somewhere to create a step that will make up for the extra fall? Would it be best to put the step at the end/middle/beginning of the run?
If possible, it would be much less work to put the step at the end of the run as this would require much less digging in rocky soil (by hand, no backhoe available )
If a step is not the best option, what should I do to keep the majority of the run at the proper slope?
Thanks.
