I'll never buy a house that has any hint of a handyman or renovator about it again. :mad:
It seems the 3 car shed has guttering and downpipes, in accordance with building regs, one on each side. They are hooked up to a slotted pipe that connects each one together, a giant U bend - an illegal (surely) wet sump that empties into my Northern Melb clay soil. Fantastic!
Of course they are backed up and creating a swamp.
As I'll be re-doing a paved path (1.6 x 10 meters, that runs off at right angles to the shed), adding drainage to this and connecting this to the drainpipe from the shed to the stormwater - I'd like to employ someone to oversee & plan this.
What would be the correct person to employ - a plumber/drainer, builder, our civil engineer aquaintance....
This will be done with some other (planned) work, including:
removal of 5 cubic meters of soil,
sub-soil drainage,
set paving heights/slope,
paving drainage,
shed drainage,
concrete pad or stumps and platform for future rainwater tank.
Any advice appreciated.
