Hi, hopefully someone can advise me on where the water from my downpipe should go. I've been noticing a puddle forming around the base of the downpipe when it rains and it doesn't look like water is draining away properly.
I did a bit of digging today and found that there's a pipe in the ground (see pic) that seems to be in the right place to take the water away, only its completely blocked (I can feel solid matter blocking it). I poured a bit of water in there and it's not drained away at all.
I'm new to this but I assume that the pipe goes either to the storm drain, or to a hole in the garden somewhere?
Is it a simple matter of getting a drain unblocker out to clear the way?
Help much appreciated,
Jambo
p.s. This is the first house I've owned so bit of a newbie at all this.
