Hi Experts

Would you please suggest how can i extend drainage from down-pipe to storm water pit ( as shown in the picture ) , so pavers are not damaged in future

Thanks for your usual support

Hi @Mike_Hn,

It’s worth checking inside the pit to see if there are any existing stormwater pipes entering it. If there are, you’ll need to dig down to them and then trench from your downpipe to that point. A new underground pipe can then be installed to intersect with the existing stormwater line.

If there aren’t any pipes entering the pit, you might need to contact your local water authority to confirm if they own it and whether you’re allowed to use it for drainage. In either case, a licensed plumber will need to make the connections, so reaching out to one would be the best first step.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
