drainage

Just doing a bit of research to see if what I wanted to do is actually possible! If you could help or have any experience of something similar that would be great! So the idea is that I may move my washing machine into the cellar and put in a sink, tumble dryer etc. Only problem is it seems...

Does anyone have any experience of this? Had this last week and remove some of the parts at the bottom and the filter and it "seemed" to work again for a while.. Last night, it came on again with E:15 error and some of the water leaked out of the front? This is obviously a draining issue.. as...

Hi all, Our kitchen sink drains directly into an outside drain, via a plastic pipe that stops just above the drain grille (pictured). Since we moved in about 6 months ago, each time the sink drains then water escapes over the patio and appears to be soaking through the cracks, and we're...

My house is mid-terrace. There are gutter downpipes every two houses, so 1 downpipe is shared by two houses. My rear garden slopes towards the house and slightly to the left where the downpipe joins the gully. So it looks like the slope is on purpose or in any case useful at directing rain water...

Hi everyone First time buyer here who is keen to listen and learn from the experienced people. About 8 months ago we bought a 1930's end of terrace property. Since then we have noticed a significant issue with 'rising damp' and as such we have some dry-rot in the floor joists and floor boards...

Hello, We just got planning permission for an annexe in our garden after a year battle with planning, hurray! So now we are thinking of the practicalities. The annexe will be over 30m away from the main house. The house connects to the mains sewer via a manhole located in a shared drive at...

Hello, The downpipes on our (recently moved into) house aren't connected to any drain pipes. I've managed to fix this at one side of the house, with help from diynot! I'm now tackling the other side and have dug down as you can see in the photo. No sign of any drain yet. My question is where's...

Hi everyone, Some help would be much appreciated, I'm wanting to install drainage and cold water into my garage as it's now getting converted into a hair salon, how deep does the drainage need to go? Also can my water pipe run along side my drainage? Thank u

The drain for my front gutter downpipe is blocked right up to ground level, and the brick surround broken in half. I dug it out 6 inches or so and the mix of largish lumps of rock and brick in the soil makes it look like it was blocked deliberately. I have various health problems which make it...

Hi, I'm attempting to extend the plumbing under the sink a little, as the drainage pipe on the new washing machine doesn't reach the spigot. I've bought a mcalpine flexcon 4 pipe thinking i could just connect that onto the tee and then attach the spigot to the end of that. The problem is that...
