Re: Leaking storwater pipe? 14Feb 07, 2011 5:10 am All fixed now, a y piece has been installed and connected to a silt trap, the water was coming from the stormwater pipe as water was sitting inside it, the flexible pipe was leaking at the join. I can't believe some ******* trades person would do it like that. Most houses in this area seem to use flexible pipe, not sure why though? Wonder if it has to do with the clay soil.

Excessive moisture in soils moves via the point of least resistance, in this case, being a trench with agricultural drains. Its not uncommon for water to express from the soil for days depending on how wet it has been and the activity around the area. Also, is the drains have screenings or scoria under them that another weak point for moisture to move through, although the standard doesn't required screening/bedding under stormwater, so It may be sewer, which would be a massive problem if you have connected into that. Depending on the soil type you have will define how long it can take for the excess ground water to release into the agi drains. If its high clay content, it could be a couple of weeks.
