Re: Highbury Homes, Perth SoR build, Tiling Complete 354Jul 14, 2016 9:37 pm Our builder insisted we put a grate drain in at the edge of the garage grano for this reason.... Kinda glad we did Re: Highbury Homes, Perth SoR build, Tiling Complete 355Jul 14, 2016 11:01 pm Yeah I was looking at doing that as a fix. Didn't come up in yje build as its a flat driveway, guess their leveling wasn't that great over 19mtrs long it was hard to see with the naked eye. Luckily it doesn't go into the garage but drains off to the side when it pools enough that it has to go somewhere. I'm going to put a drain on that side and tie it into the soak well pipe going to that downpipe. We are having pebbles down that side so I'll recess the drain a bit lower, cover it with geotextile fabric and then cover that with the pebbles and the water will drain away and you won't see the drain . Its just a shame that you have to do this stuff after the build, something I would of expected better from HH. Re: Highbury Homes, Perth SoR build, Tiling Complete 357Jul 16, 2016 9:09 am I know!
