Perhaps the three pillars on which the improvement of a private house or summer house rests are water supply, electricity and sewage. The latter, by the way, belongs to the category of the most sensitive issues, because in case of an error during the installation of a drainage system or pipeline, the consequences can be very, very unpleasant. That is why it is important to thoroughly approach the design of the system and qualitatively carry out all the work.
At the same time, each “trifle” is significant: both the material for pipes, and the installation site of the sewer well and cesspool, and much more.
