Waterproofing to the wet areas were done after the cabinets were installed. Carlisle use to include a water resistant "Performance Solution" in lieu of waterproofing in their contracts. This required annual inspections at a cost to the homeowner to maintain warranty. Have you checked your...

I want to remove frog mouth and fix it properly because roots are getting through frog mouth and blocking pipes. Frogmouth? It must surely be different to the failed Frogmouth filter previously manufactured by SilvanH2O. I am thinking to connect 3 pipes to one 50mm pipe and connect one 50mm pipe to...

As is per usual for many of the past failed RWH regulations, it is probably traceable to a bureaucrat who's ego overrode the need to seek the appropriate expert advice. I'm guessing that your area's average annual rainfall is a relatively evenly distributed 900-1,000 mm. Is that close?

the police. The wallopers will just say it's a civil matter. @ AandNnewhome did you get a receipt or was it an agreed "cashie", i.e. no GST?

The damp proof course sits at the bottom of the weep hole. The location of a damp-proof course or flashing serving as a damp-proof course, must be not less than— (i) 150 mm above the adjacent ground level; or (ii) 75 mm above the finished surface level of adjacent paved, concreted or landscaped area...

You just need the gutter and downpipe sizes to be compliant with the NCC for the roof area harvested and have the downpipes connected to a LPOD. You need to ask your council about any retention tank requirements. The tank will need an overflow pipe connected to the stormwater if the tank would other...

Can you hear it from outside the house?

Any thoughts about utilising the roof area? Do the height limits allow it?

Do you envisage any issues with the neighbour's tree in consideration of it being a multi storey development?

I don't think we can expect the landlord to put up curtains or blinds. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Of interest, how high is the retaining wall?

Get a camera plumber inspection of your stormwater drain. The bottom of the downpipe has been taped (see the black tape) to seal the necessary gap between the downpipe and the adaptor that would normally prevent the downpipe from surcharging. The now charged pipe would assist the drain's flow capac...

The rainhead's overflow lip at the front has to be a minimum 25mm below the gutter's discharge sole. Hard to tell from the photo if it complies but it looks to be thereabouts. The gutter's drain outlet is slanted sideways which isn't aesthetically pleasing.

It's a classic example of aesthetics subjugating function where style usurps precedence over practicality.

This is a very challenging situation, made much harder by not being on site. Firstly, I think that I originally overestimated the % coverage of the additional roof areas to some gutter sections as the greenery shown in the overhead photo is (I assume) unlikely to overhang the patio. Is this correct...

Once you know the basics, the rest is easy. Read my post in the thread linked below. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?p=1919271#p1919271

I have some doubts the Supa pumper would fit in my case. https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/110141_1707658188.png https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/110141_1707658193.png Unfortunately, you are correct. Paradoxically, a lot of emergency overflow solutions discharge to atmosphere whereas the Gutter Pumper d...
