Hi guys,
The downpipe I've marked up with yellow was blocked. Long story short, I have unblocked, I've cut it and left discharging on the top of the garden bed, so all the rainwater will be going right next to that brick wall. I understand this can be a problem as it can lead to that brick column/garage potentially settling/moving, however being Perth, the soil is quite sandy so I'm hoping the water will just go through.
Do you think I need to run water to the soakwell or can i just leave it discharging next to the brick wall?
Thanks!

Don’t rely on soil properties as even sandy soil may have a slight percentage of clay or fine material that may gets washed out overtime and cause movement in buildings. 21 Jan 2022 52 Loyal Member Re: Downpipe dischargin next to carport wall 3Jun 14, 2024 9:03 am  Eng.

So i really need to run this pipe into a soakwell? Any idea of how much it costs to install a small soakwell with piping? Building Standards; Getting It Right! It's all good. You can get both wye piece and the coupling with or without thread. The cost difference is negligible and means the plumber only has to carry the single… 1 6627 It will depend on whoever does the inspection and his pick up to details. 5 2038 Hi all I am looking to run a water line under my concrete footpath which is directly next to my home, was seeing if this is possible without cutting the entire section… 0 22065 |
