Hi i need help i have just built a new extension my dpc is quite low ie its about 12 inches above the the footing which naturally pretrudes from the wall by about 6 inches i need to put a drain in along this wall to take the waste from the kitchen my problem is all the traps are quite deep i need to keep it level with the path which will run down beside the building but as i need this path to be at least 6 inches below the dpc im a bit stuck do i have to come beyond the footing to drop the trap down or is there another way round it. hope this makes sense i will try to draw a picture and attach it tomorrow
THANKS

yes pic would be nice. you can put the traps at any height with raising pieces. you may need slow bends to come up and over the founds.

you may have to kango a bit of the foundation to allow the gully to sit flush to the wall

Gunning the founds out on the edges to fit drainage will be fine as has been said - we've done it plenty of times when required.
Uploading pictures? This will help.
