Hi everyone,
I have an old garage that I want to convert to a music room with lots of equipment. It has hardiplank on the outside and I plan to add acoustic insulation it and then add thick soundchek plasterboard for sound proofing.
My problem is that some water gets in at the bottom of the walls in heavy rain and I wanted to make sure this was fixed before starting work on the room.
On the advice for a local plumbing store I installed a down pipe and a stormwater pit which goes to a pit of blue metal…but this overflows in heavy rain. (please see pics)
My question is should I install some type of drain around the garage before doing the project and if so what type.
Also should I try to waterproof around the bottom of the walls?
As you should be able to see I. The fourth photo the fence is higher than the bottom the shed and the land slopes down.
I would be grateful for any help/ suggestions.
Hi everyone,
I wanted to know how to connect flexible slotted agi pipe to the drainage pit pictured below and also how to connect a soild pvc pipe to the other side which will be going to the stormwater drain. Is there a connector I should use...or a glue?
Regards
Chris
Hi @ChrisA,
It sounds like you'd be looking for a Everhard EasyDRAIN Pit Boss Connector.
Remember that in accordance with the Australian Plumbing Code, only licensed plumbers are authorised to undertake plumbing or drainage work. While homeowners can handle minor tasks like changing a tap washer, replacing a shower head or installing an irrigation system, drainage work would fall outside these areas.
