Are kitchen sinks, bathroom floor drains, and toilets all supposed to go into a septic tank and/or be connected with a single main pipe?

Long story short, I’m not very good with plumbing terms, but our entire bathroom is flooded with wastewater with human waste and everything. Apparently, all 3 things mentioned above are somewhat connected since pouring water on one of the affects the others.

Ted talk part. This problem began almost a month ago, water from the floor drain started rising and eventually to the point that flushing the toilet frequently floods the floor drain and carries human waste with it. I complained to the subdivision office and they said that our septic tank didn’t have any sanitary line or plumbing outlet (not really sure, but the pipe that carries excess water from the tank to a sewer or something). I started losing my confidence with the contractors since we had a different problem before. It took then 2 weeks to take action and install the pipe, though they haven’t returned yet to fix the curb they had to dismantle. Now that seemed to have solved the problem a bit and the water goes down slowly after a while. It only lasted for a few days before the problem reappeared. When I asked them, they mentioned that the “catch basin” may have been blocked because of throwing food down the kitchen sink. Tbh, I am aware of that because I realized that my brother is the one who mostly stays at home since I have to work, and I frequently caught him throwing rice (and other food stuff) down the sink when washing the dishes. And that brings us to my question because afaik, the toilet or the kitchen sink is supposed to go on a different line. And I also pipe that goes above the curb for some reason, but isn’t connected anywhere on our house. Thank you for wasting 5 mins of your life :)

Question about septic tanks

Hello. I have a question about septic systems that may seem naive so thank you for your patience. We moved out to Suffolk County from Nassau County and I'm getting familiar with the needs of maintaining our septic system. I've always lived in a house with a sewer connection and honestly never thought twice about the drain pipes. I have no issue with maintaining the bacteria and we had a local pumper take some solids out and do a once over. We have an average system in OK shape. My question is regarding the following: we discovered that the previous owners ran some rubber hose from the laundry machine and from the dishwasher out to the rear of the house and left it under the wood deck, for it to spill out onto the dirt. Obviously they were thinking that they didn't want to send this Wastewater into the septic system for whatever reason. There's a stew of water and mud under there and it's disgusting and unsanitary. I asked around at work and the guys all said that...

UK Property Law questions

Please could a UK Property Lawyer/Solicitor advise on what I need to ask for. We’ve got a septic tank in a property that we are buying that is jointly used and maintained by 2 neighbours as per their own conveyance. The seller whom we are buying from has lost the conveyance that proves we have any right to use the septic tank, even though it’s on our land. Our solicitor says they aren’t experts in this area but at present it shows that we would have no right to use this septic tank, it’s plumbing, and therefore when it comes to replacing it (which is required immediately due to non-compliance) we wouldn’t be allowed to touch it. Our solicitors advise we need to find another solicitors who is knowledgeable in this area and can create a “deed of grant” to allow us to use it - but I cannot find any solicitors on Google in the UK that provide these services. Is my solicitor correct, is it a “deed of grant” or does it go by another name or do I need something else? Location: south east...
