Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Jun 02, 2012 4:00 pm Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. We have built a retaining wall with a slotted agi pipe for drainage (covered with a sock) and then covered it with crushed rock. With the latest rain the water has just rushed through the pipe and out the bottom of the wall rather than draining away in the pipe. We're not sure why this has happened as it is angled to drain away to a drainage pipe but nothing is coming out of it. Please help!!

The main thing is the water is getting out from behind the wall somehow, it's the water that builds up and puts pressuer on your wall that you need to worry about. By the sound of it that's not a problem. yep sounds good make the footing bigger to to allow for the pipe in the middle 3 7320 Plumbers 'can be' plumbers, made all the worse by self certification which the building surveyor invariably accepts as proof of compliance!
