Re: House pathway ideas 9Jul 16, 2017 7:25 pm The ORG's purpose is to provide a point where sewage surcharge can discharge to an outside area to protect the interior of the house. The ORG's top must be able to easily pop off so that sewage isn't forced into the house in the event of the grate becoming blocked. Being new, the top should easily pop off. The regulations require that the spill level must be a minimum of 150mm lower than the lowest fixture connected to the drain and this will be either a floor waste or the shower drain. If you look at the weep holes (open slots between the bricks) on the outside wall, you will find that the bottom of the weep hole rests on the damp proof course (DPC) which is invariably at floor level to allow any interior water build up in the wall to drain. It appears that the gap (distance) between your ORG's spill level and the floor level is about 50mm and not the minimum 150mm. Note that the spill level is the surface surrounding the ORG, not the height of the ORG's grate. The diagram below is copied from the VBA Technical Solution Sheet 3.05. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The path also appears to be spooned (but maybe it is lens distortion) and there are stormwater drain grates in the path for drainage. This is good path drainage design but because there is also an ORG, it means that sewage overflow will also go into the stormwater. I don't know whether there are regulations to cover this situation but any overflow does however have to go somewhere, it may be wise to ask the VBA for a ruling. I don't like the bottom of your weep holes being in close proximity and lower than the top of the ORG but in cases where the 150mm minimum height cannot be achieved, a reflux valve must be installed in addition to the ORG and you should find out as to whether this has been done. 3in1 Supadiverta.
