Hi all
I'm looking to lay a new patio in the area you can see in the photo below which I've started digging out level. It looks to me like the level of the patio is going to be dictated by the drain pipe I've circled on the picture but this pipework is only 75mm below the DPC.
So....with a hardcore / bedding / slab to go above that pipe level it's going to take it above the DPC.
Can anyone give me any advice on where to go with this?
Incidentally the builders who put this waste pipe in did so at the same time as building the extension it comes from - is it normal to put this in so shallow?
Thanks for your time.
