How do i go about replacing this retaining wall with drainage?
Hi @Wallys_25,
Do you want to replace/remove both retaining walls?
What sort of drainage stormwater or agi drain?
Cheers
Hi @AlanM52
Yes both walls. Im not sure at the moment but something suitable for this situation. There is 2 down pipes in front of the house. I was thinking of running both ways and connect it to them. There is flooding upto the front door of the house when it rains heavily due to bad drainage around the front of the house.
Let's plan it in stages.
Stage 1:
Water lapping the front door!
RE: There is 2 down pipes in front of the house.
Stormwater drain across the front.
And across at the end back to the house corner.
Using something like this.
Hello @Wallys_25
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your retaining wall.
Just a friendly reminder that any plumbing work needs to be carried out by a licensed plumber for safety and compliance.
It's great that you've received excellent advice from @AlanM52. I totally agree with his recommendation about using Everhard 3m EasyDRAIN Polymer Grate And Prejoined Channel. I would also recommend having your storm water drains checked for blockages. In regards to the retaining wall, I suggest leaving them in place as they slow down the flow of water to the front of your house.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

I was planning to discuss the retaining walls in Stage 2.
While I'm here...
