So grid off and I’ve cleared what I can and reached as far as I can go
it seems the pipe that feeds to the sewer is too high. The drains around the front of the house are also too high and I get puddles when it rains. (Big dip in the middle under the window)
T
there’s a manhole cover in the garden.
There’s a stream at the back. I have a slight fear as this house was built in 1939 they drain it to the stream and nobody has fixed it, which I know is illegal these days. However, I used to paddle in the stream as a kid and I could see people’s shower and washing machine waste going in there!!
I may be worrying over nothing. The manhole cover looks official, I’d be very surprised if I wasn’t connected to the main sewer lol
I wonder if all these drain issues are a bit of subsidence. The middle of the house at front, the concrete in the middle has clearly sunk below the level of the 2 drains at each corner.
