Just wondering what's the general opinion out there regarding buying property with sewer manholes ? The manhole is on the back-right corner.
Thanks in advance..

We have had many blocks with sewer manholes. No dramas. Just cant put anything over the top. And remember, a very very very small chance if anything went wrong and council had to come into your block, they wont give a */>% about your fancy garden around it. So design gardens around them. Re: Lot with Sewer Manhole - yay or nay ? 16Sep 11, 2010 1:29 am We have one too, I was never concerned about it. Some great ideas in this thread for covering them (even though your not "meant" to). I was thinking about using those outdoor non-slip rubber tiles you can buy from clark rubber and putting the tramp and swing set over it. from what I understand, they are placed at junctions or bends, so if the line is going to block, thats the place it will block. In our last house we had one also and the sewer people came twice in 7 years. One of those times they had to dig up half the backyard fixing a blockage in the line, so unfortunately it does happen. (therefore I think garden lover is on the money designing your garden around them!) Re: Lot with Sewer Manhole - yay or nay ? 17Sep 13, 2010 6:53 pm I had one in my last house. It never caused me a issue in the 11 1/2 years i was there and when I sold it none of the 60+ ppl that inspected the house raised it as a question/concern.
