So based on your replies and a couple of discussions I have had, does this diagram look like the correct solution? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ If this is correct: 1. how deep must the ag line be? Should it be at the same height as the slab? 2. where would the stormwater drain flow into? Ag line must be at least 1 m away from slab edge and should be deeper than bottom of slab Foremost Building Expert in Australia,assisting with building problems/disputes, building stage inspections,pre-contract review advice for peace of mind 200 blogs http://www.buildingexpert.net.au/blog Re: Drainage issue side of house 13Jan 26, 2019 2:24 pm d11n 2. where would the stormwater drain flow into? The plumber will know the location of the pits.

Re: Drainage issue side of house 14Jan 27, 2019 10:08 am So looks like i guessed the width from the house to the fence line incorrectly. instead of it being 1.5m it is actually 1m, which means it would be incredibly hard to put an ag line in at least 1m away from the wall. Correct me if I am wrong but would the only option left be a retaining wall on the boundary and place an ag line on the high side? Obviously I would have to get my neighbours approval as well as councils. Would this realistically be the only option left? I would like to have someone come out and have a look: Who would be the best person to consult, that would know the standards and potential issues based on soil type etc? I feel a few landscapers I speak to just say throw in an ag line and you will be fine, some have said you can place it close to the house others keep it against the fence line, but when I speak to you guys you are giving me standards around slope and ag line distance from foundations, which I would like to meet but are hard due to the distance. I appreciate the responses so far just trying to get a clear way forward to resolve this. Re: Drainage issue side of house 15Jan 27, 2019 10:36 am Google "angle of repose" but you need to do something so basically just have the ag pipe as close to the fence as possible and definitely NOT next to the slab. You could finish the surface area with landscaping pavers and suitable ground covers and other grass like plants in between to help keep the soil from becoming too wet. In life, we should always try to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage.

I have exactly the same issue, but the water is pooling on the fence line. See photo attached. I will contact a plumber to address this, and hopefully an Ag Pipe + silt pit fixes this. Can we use that pipe sticking out from the soil to connect the Ag pipe to? It's in the middle of the photo in between the brick wall and fence. I remember that the builder mentioned that they are inspection pipes and that we could put a drain on them or even seal them and leave them under ground. Given that I built on a P - E site, installing artificial turf + plastic underneath (which one?) around the perimeter is fine? Most people put concrete on the sides, but we are thinking on laying artificial turf. Additionally, would a "French drain" (PVC with holes at the bottom) work better than an ag pipe in this case? Thanks!
