Stavross 18,805 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Anyone tell me the point of this? Mate said can you give me a hand with a drainage job, 15’ of pipe into a sump because the garden floods in the winter and he wants to be able to pump it out, why would you not just put a 6” perforated pipe along the back of your boundary sending the water to the left and onto the farmer’s field out the back this is what happens when you work for a retired civil engineer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 18,805 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Well, I’m completely baffled by this, no idea what he thinks he’s achieving, drainage should be about getting it off your land not bringing it further onto it so you can pump it off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
