Hi all,
I have recently moved and in the garage (right next to the house) the rain water goes into a sealed drain (sealed by mastic). All has been ok until it rained really heavy the other day and i walked into the garage to see a puddle lying on the ground right next to the drain. I checked all the sourrounding pipe work which was all dry and there are no water marks down the side of house next to the drain (inside the garage).
I can only therefore conclude that the water has come up through the floor, which to me sounds like very bad news !!
I have another very small rain water drain (small hole) out the front of the house which appears to be in line with the drain in the garage, but there is no manhole cover on the property that i can lift to check if it is blocked. I think its under the extension!
I was wondering if you experts have any ideas of what i could do to check if its blocked, or how to remove the mastic from the floor so that i can try to rod it somehow.
Many thanks in advance, Carl
