Drainage and pipe lines
Drainages are built to flush out rainy water from the house. If the drain is on the Eastern side it is considered auspicious which helps the native in procreation and financial upgrading. The drain towards the North in procreation and financial upgrading. The drain towards the North side is also considered auspicious and helps in business. The drain towards South creates diseases and the drain towards West makes financial losses. Drain of North East is also considered good. The remaining directions are not auspicious.

Stairs
The stairs should never be constructed in North East direction. They are considered auspicious in West or Northern part of the house. While climbing up, the stairs should rotate towards right direction. They should be even in number i.e. if divided by three the remainder should be two. The mains stairs of the house should not start from pooja room, strong room, kitchen or dump house. Round, screw type stairs are considered inauspicious. They create mental imbalance. The stairs should always be repaired.

Waste storage/Lumber Room
South-West is considered best for Waste storage/Lumber Room place. Lumber room is a place in the house where we store old items which are currently of no use to us. These unused items are those which cannot be disposed off either because of its sentimental value or we hope to use it someday in future. On the other hand store room is a place to store items that are being used. For those staying in apartments and flats, finding a separate place to designate as a lumber room may not be possible, those staying in independent bungalows, should definitely have provision for a lumber room in their house. Lumber rooms can have negative and harmful energies therefore sitting, sleeping or eating in it should be avoided.

Porch and Parking
Now-a-days two or four wheeler has become necessity of every one. To escape the fear of theft people keep their vehicle in the house. Garages can be constructed in the North-West sector. A second choice for garages is the South-East. Avoid your garages or portico in South-West. The garage should not touch the main building and the car should face North or East direction.

Toilets
Now a days Western style pots are being used in toilets in which there is facility of flushing filth with water. As filth and water are being flushed out of the home, the flow of water and bend of the pipe is very important factor in it. The pipe should be made of good quality material and the drainage should be as such that the waste should go out without any hurdle. Toilet should be in South direction separated from the bathroom. Construction of toilet in North-East direction could be dangerous for the native. The toilet should be constructed in such a manner that person using it should be faced in South, West or North direction. As per our classics, while getting fresh in the morning the native should face either towards South, West, or North and in the evening it should be South facing.

Over Head Water Tank
Though North-East is dedicated to the water element but construction of over head water tank is not permitted as per the rules of Vastu. The overhead water tank should be in the West or South-West direction of the building because Lord Varun is ruler of this area and water element is governed by him. If the overhead tank is constructed in the North-East of the house, it may lead to mental tension and burden. Due to water, South-West corner becomes heavy and creates a balance of positive energies in the house/building and proves advantageous. There should be no leakage in the over head tank because dampness in the South-West corner is not good; therefore, the tank should be placed on a higher slab. One should cover the all inner portion of the tank with tiles, preferably of white colour, so as to ensure cleanliness of the tank.
The over head tank should not be constructed in the middle of the house because it is brahmsthan. Making this area heavier makes the native mentally disturbed. The overhead water tank, as far as possible, should not be made of plastic. If it is a plastic tank, it should be of blue or black colour, so that it absorbs the Sun’s rays. The Sun’s rays create positive energy when absorbed in water.
