Generally speaking, the autonomous sewage system is equipped with your own hands is not so difficult as it might seem at first glance. Is it possible to install it yourself? This issue arises in almost every summer resident, which does not have the means for hiring a specialized brigade for the installation and subsequent maintenance of the system. In addition, it often happens that the country house itself is small, use it from case to case and investing significant money in the sewer simply makes no sense.
In this article we will give an example of one very simple system, having familiarized yourself with which, you will understand that the autonomous sewage around the country house will be affordable and you.

So, the sewer system for the cottage should be extremely simple, as autonomous as possible and not demand from who will install it to the special skills of the builder. That is, it should be such that it can collect it one person in one day.
Passing through the pipes system, “spent” water enters the underground tank (tank). The bottom of this tank should be at the upper level of groundwater. That is, the main idea of such an autonomous sewer is to align the level of surface water. The water is connected to the upper level of groundwater and is absorbed into this soil much faster than just in the ground or in sand.
If you have a fairly modest budget, in order to save, you can use ordinary sewer plastic pipes 3 meters long and 50 mm in diameter. However, as practice shows, if funds allow, then it is best, of course, to use 100 mm. Such pipes are resistant to frost, although manufacturers indicate that they can burst if water is present inside. But after all, they do not consider that the pipes of this country sewage system are almost never completely filled with water.
In these plastic pipes there are joints with rubber gaskets, so that the entire assembly process takes several minutes.
For the arrangement of a cleaning manifold in a simple autonomous sewer with your own hands, a barrel with a volume of two hundred liters is suitable. In the bottom it is necessary to cut out four large holes. If in your case, the depth of groundwater is below the height of the barrel, then a pile of large stones must be poured to the bottom of the pit. In the upper part of the barrel, cut a hole, the diameter of which will match the outer diameter of the pipes. So that it does not fall into the barrel, close it with some lid.
Dig a hole until the soil becomes wet, and water begins to accumulate in the pit itself.
Sewer pipes must be laid at an angle. Usually from one to forty degrees. No more than forty degrees, because with a greater inclination, the water flow will gain significant speed, as a result of which the pipes will wear out quickly.

According to the rules, if in some places you have overdoed a dug trench with a depth, then you can’t fall asleep back back. These areas are poured with concrete. This is due to the fact that the earth will be loose and subsequently can sag, which will lead to deformation of the pipes.
To increase the reliability of the sewer, before filling the pipes with soil, do not be lazy and pour all the joints with liquid clay. Thanks to this, the tightness of the system will increase.
We hope that now you realized that the local sewage system for a country house is completely laid on its own. But if your finances allow, we still advise you to turn to professionals for whom the autonomous sewage of a private house is the main activity.
