Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Aug 22, 2020 12:34 pm Hi I am having water overflwong during heavy rain, can i get your opinion as to what causing this? FYI: 1.the water movement going from the downpipe to garden bed 2. No leaking or overflowng coming from gutter above Could the water somehow coming from the downpipe in the video? Fyi i put a hose in to the gutter above just to see if there is awater overflowing from pipe down under for about15 minutes and it was fine and i can see the water flowing to the other end so i am a bit confused as to where the water coming?

Re: Water overflowing during heavy rain 4Aug 22, 2020 3:04 pm If there is a blockage in the subsurface stormwater pipe, it will affect all downpipes that are upstream of the blockage. It may be that particular downpipe is the furthest upstream downpipe. If it was a surcharge problem with the main stormwater pipe, all downpipes would be affected and so you can rule that possibility out. The pipes below ground are a sealed system and so the pipe may be damaged and leaking. The most common cause is tree roots.
