Is there a down pipe from the roof? If so, you could dig up where it runs underground and cut a whole in the top of it (as the other storm water from the roof will NEVER completely fill a storm water pipe) and run it into there. Usually there is a pipe that sticks out of the ground at the front of the house that is access to where the storm water flows into the street gutter system. It is usually near your front tap. Or is it just too far away from anything? Re: need help with an ag pipe 6Oct 15, 2009 12:12 pm snistr well thats where i have the problem. I cant seem to see where the storm water pipe is. I dont know where it runs. Is it a new house? If so it will be on the plans. If not, then you can follow it out about 1 meter from the down pipe but where it goes after that is anyones guess.
