Install mains waste to existing downstairs toilet

Question

An existing downstairs toilet using a Saniflow system has never worked correctly.

I want to explore if the floor from the toilet can be dug up, across a hallway, through a kitchen to the mains. 

We have underfloor heating which I believe is a wet system. 

Distance from toilet to outside is approximately 5m.

Almost anything is possible in construction, including this. It all comes down to cost. You will have to pay to reinstate the underfloor heating afterwards as these proposed works will likely go through it.

It can be done but it really needs to be seen to determine what's happening there. Could be air lock etc

This is definitely possible and definitely something can be achievable there are a few variables as in where are the main drains located past the kitchen

Hannah · Answer

If the saniflow system had been installed correctly then you shouldn’t have had any problems

Jason · Answer

You would dig up to out side of the house then dig outside to the main drain so you don't damage the inside of the house
