Hi guys
I am having some issues with an opening in the concrete floor of a basement.
It seems that it was left there on purpose but a supporting small wall was build kind of on top of it leaving like a slot still exposed to air and humidity which created some problems that I am now trying to fix
You can see pictures here
No I am trying to guess if this issue is somehow connected with a potential main drain issue
So my question is, considering the position of the sinks and the bath tubs showed in this picture, what would be the most probable path for the main drain ?
In the below picture
1 -the place where the city water pipes hit the house (outside the house under that window see the second picture below)
2 -the main valve for the entire house
3,4 -exterior drains used to connect the gutters to the main drain (I assume)
5-The brown spot on the basement floor is the flood drain for the basement
Considering the above what would be the most probable path for the main drain of the house ?
Does it usually run under the basement floor slab or outside the wall of the basement?
How do the gutters connect to the main drain (they go straight into these pipes close to the wall)
