Dear All,
I am trying to resolve an issue with an existing soakway in the front garden at my residential property in the UK.
My property was constructed in around 1969 and the roof guttering runs along the fascias of the property and then flows into a vertical downpipe.
The downpipe runs vertically from the fascia for around 5m where it meets the ground and then continues another 450mm below the ground. At 450mm below the ground there then appears to be either a 90 degree elbow allowing a horizontal run to the soakaway or a trap allowing a horizontal run to the soakaway.
I would appreciate thoughts on which is the most likely installation considering the year of construction.
Many thanks
Paul
