Just moved into my new house and discovered the foul from the one of the toilets is connected to a land drain - NOT the septic tank as the seller assured me - can you believe that? Unbelievable!

Thankfully the existing foul is around 2.5m away from the dodgy drain so I can tie into that relatively easily. Unfortuanately, its under my tarred driveway.

Best not dwell on it and get thge problem fixed!
