I am extending a single storey building which was originally two garages and three outbuildings on a rural site, neighbours are 1/2 a mile and 300 yards away.
The storm drains for two pitches go through the hedge and discharge into the ditch the other side of the hedge which bounds a field.
The distance from the building to the the hedge is 6 feet or so.
The storm drains are clay and it varies between 4" and 6" with loose joints on the 6" covered with DPM or DPC.
One 6" length of pipe through the hedge has a blackthorn root around it.
I have to redo the two drains, one does not go into the ditch but stops in the hedge and is cracked on the end, and parts of both are not deep enough in the ground and rodding is entertaining. The downpipes are mortared into one end of a 90 degree elbow. Some of it is done well but other parts are not.
I am unsure if plastic pipe will be strong enough to withstand the pressures of hedge roots allowing for the pea gravel around it?
I can probably get some 4" clay from the local rec yard.
