Hello,
I have a basement door leading outside in my house. I need to build an external stairway to the basement here. I was thinking of pouring a concrete foundation for the basement stairs and then placing a precast stair unit from a concrete factory on top. Now, the problem is that the house’s sewer connection runs underneath the stairway or the slab. Is there anything I need to consider, or can I simply pour concrete over it, meaning a clean layer first and then cement on top? There is also a branch pipe from the sewer connection here that is supposed to be embedded as a drain within the foundation.

Hello,
I also have questions about this topic.
My builder is charging an additional 12,000 euros (about $13,000) for an external basement staircase, which I find too expensive.
Now I want to do it myself.
I was planning to install a prefabricated staircase (there will be a crane on site anyway).
My question is: Can I connect the rainwater that collects in front of the basement door to the house’s drainage system?
Or would it be better to cover the area? That would be more expensive, though.
Best regards,
