Hi @nand1178,

It might be worth contacting your local council to see if you can get a copy of your house plans, as they'll often keep them on file. Given the tight working conditions, I think it would be a good idea to get a quote on the work from a drainage expert. You'd then have a much better idea of what will be involved with correcting the issue.

Thanks Mitchell for your advice the orange pipes cover open iron rods

We are a second owner to the property hence we don’t have the built plan yet.

Hi @nand1178,

Any idea what the upright orange pipes are? Are they on your plans? You'll need to establish their purpose and determine if there is enough room to install a drainage line along this area.

I presume your property is the one on the left? If so, you might like to contact your builder to find out whether drainage was installed to deal with the difference in elevation between the properties. Also, a drainage expert can advise on whether a drainage line can be installed here given the limited space.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
