Hello All,
I have had a drainage/flooding problem in my rear garden/dining room.
As a result i'm now in the middle of:
1- Lowering the rear garden (its currently higher than the inside of dining room)
2 - Installing a couple of french drains (with limestone chippings and perforated pipe).
I was hoping to direct the perforated pipe in to the rectangular rain water hopper which would be okay but now that I've lowered the garden the hopper is far to high. I then thought to lower the hopper, however, as this goes in to a tick bend and then the mains i'm not sure whether this would work as the mains pipe is rather high.
Is it now a case of extending the tick bend down deeper? will this work as the hopper could end up being lower than the pipe to the mains! or is there an alternative which I can install to prevent problems and still have efficient water movement?
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Ill try and get a photo up here.
Cheers
