Good morning,
Our outdoor landscaping will be done soon, and at the spots where the paving meets the house, a base channel (ACO Profiline) will be installed. We are now considering whether to drain the base channel into the sewer system or into an infiltration basin.
Basically, we would prefer to connect it to the sewer. However, the bottom edge of the base channel is below the backflow level. In case of backflow, wastewater could potentially be pushed into the base channel.
The soil is sandy, and the groundwater level is relatively high (about 1-2 m (3-6.5 ft) deep).
What do you think?
