Lots of drain covers

[talksr]

Hi there, I am hoping to move into our new build shared ownership property soon. We have been out to view it a couple of times and the only thing I have noticed is that there seem to be a considerable amount of drains on our drive. I counted six in total and another in the back garden making seven in a very small space.

Is this normal?

Also, I couldn't see any weight rating on the ones on the drive, but some are right where the wheels for a car would sit. Do I need to investigate these any further before moving in?

I can only see 4 covers on the driveway. The two covers nearest the house are likely to be foul water connections (probably one from bathroom and 2nd from kitchen). The two nearest the end of your driveway are probably one foul and one surface water. The one in the back garden is probably surface water (downpipe).
The cover look like composite type - if you're concerned about load bearing then ask the site manager for some reassurance.

Looks VERY nice!

I agree with Andy

The more the better if you have any trouble. They usually have a number on which says how much weight thye can take, something like A15.

Thanks guys. I will take a closer look and see if I can find a weight rating.

Just worried as neighbours don't seem to have any on their drives.
