ABSTRACT:
A drainage system for housing constructions, comprising at least one fixture drain connected to a main drain, a building sewer evacuating waste waters from the main drain to the city drain, and a sump pump located in a water collecting reservoir in the basement of the housing for evacuation through a discharge line, of any water accumulating into the reservoir, the reservoir having a bottom outlet leading to the sewer. A check valve is mounted at the outlet of the reservoir to prevent backflow from the building sewer, the check valve being readily accessible from the reservoir, and a discharge line, used to expell excess waters with the sump pump, running from the pump outside of the house. The invention is useful in that the sullage can readily be evacuated outside of the housing construction when the main drain or the sewer is clogged.
