Re: ORG and concrete pathway 11Mar 13, 2019 6:51 am SaveH2O Were both stand pipes already there pre path? The ORG (domed cap) would have been there at least. The water you describe in the domed grated pipe will be a trap. This would not be the builder's responsibility unless the builder arranged the concreting but maybe as a client, they could do an inspection for you. Alternatively, you could contact the VBA because there are several concerns including the ORG's height and the small separation between the finished ground level at the ORG and house floor level plus what you have noted. I have no idea about what is going on with that closest drain but it is certainly 'interesting'. Can you confirm that the domed grated pipe has a 100mm DWV pipe (the grate should easily lift off) and that the closest pipe is a 90mm thin walled stormwater pipe thanks? I have a nasty feeling that the two grates are on the same DWV pipe.....but surely not??? Is there a slope on the path away from the house?

Was the surface drain (nearest pipe) already there? I am wondering whether the concreter has illegally tapped into a sewer pipe to connect a surface drain, something that would be looked on very, very seriously by the VBA. The concreter shouldn't get too narky because there is also suppose to be a minimum height of 75mm between the path and the damp proof course (bottom of the weep holes) for compliance. I would be sending the VBA a report with some photos and ask for an inspection. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage.

I would be sending the VBA a report with some photos and ask for an inspection. The pipes were already there before the concreter started work. I'm concerned about getting the concreters involved again as i was basically threatened by them last contact Re: ORG and concrete pathway 14Mar 14, 2019 10:04 am The nearest drain will collect surface water but you confirmed that it drains grey and black water. If it does, it is highly illegal and you can't leave it like that. If the nearest pipe's outside diameter is 110mm, it is a DWV pipe. Maybe contact Metropolis Solutions for a professional onsite inspection and advice so you know for sure what is going on. http://metropolis.melbourne/ 3in1 Supadiverta.
