My garage wall is on zero boundary and my neighbour's land (build hasnt started) has a little slope towards my side. Aside from the concreting around my house, my garage wall will have a Megaflo drain under the edge beam if I got the terms right. Builder said the Megaflo drain will only run within the garage wall so no issues on hitting during fencing. I think my garage wall will be my retaining wall since its on zero boundary. Anyone has used Megaflo and if you see any concerns on this set up that I should watch out for?

I am going through a similar process at the mo but no one has explained as yet. How much extra did it cost you? Thanks Re: Garage on boundary line. 7Jun 20, 2024 10:12 am My concern is the reduction in concrete footings width and steel cover in the Megaflo setup. I’m not sure why this is required? Generally I don’t like the house wall to be the retaining wall. Because it’s difficult to eliminate the great risk of moisture ingress to inside the house. Specially if any of the drains get blocked, higher than expected rainfall events or waterproofing failed. It’s recommended to retain the soil further away from the house or raise the slab if you can. Re: Garage on boundary line. 8Jun 20, 2024 12:08 pm Thanks, great points. I am hoping that having my garage wall being the only retaining wall will compensate for that risk. From what I understand, this was mandated by the builder's engineering plans (~$3-4k variation before the plans were finalised) to address the lack of space to do concreting apron or any other drain. I do have a small lot so the zero-boundary was to maximise the garage space. The builder did some waterproofing on the wall as well.
