He is a builder....apparently... :/ Wondering whether it is on purpose...

Neighbour's kitchen drainage pipes routinely fall apart emptying a few loads every day of dishwasher, washing machine, kitchen sink water onto a paved path in their garden. The water floods their path and lays against our garden wall and is no doubt causing some damage and is certainly eroding...

k... so the ivy has attached itself to our wall due to ivy 'going forth and multiplying' lack of control or the neighbours wish to cover the wall.......(or lack of common sense) so is growing ivy onto our wall a trespass? ...when it has penetrated between the bricks where it has 'eaten' into...

Thanks for the advice so far... They own the house. Being a victorian house, the damp course here is very probably slate. Very probably the ground became saturated with the grey water flooding undermining the garden wall in a couple of places. An issue developed with our electrics...
