Hi,
So here is the problem. My drainpipe for the washing machine broke under our concrete foundation. I have access to tap it into a different septic line that was added simply for the kitchen.
Here is my question:
How do I tap the drainpipe for the washing machine into the line for the septic? The problem I am facing is that the septic line is already firmly into the ground so I cannot simply add a "T" to the line and tap in.
I was thinking of using a hole saw to cut a hole into the side of the septic line, then inserting the washer pipe, and then sealing with some sort of sealant. My theory behind this was there is so little pressure, it should be ok. Am I correct in my thinking?
All advice is welcome!!
