Question by karen m: Is there a plan somewhere of the location of the main drains under my house? I am renovating an old victorian terace which has solid floors to the dining room and kitchen at the rear of the house. They do not need lifting as they are dry and with lovely quarry tiles which I am keeping. However I was told that the main drains run under the rear of the house and if there was ever a problem the council would have the right to completely dig up the rear of the house.

Thanks Best answer: Answer by hamid sOfcourse there is a plan. Ask your landlord or developer of your building. Or at last you can go to manicipality...
