Anyone know anything about external drains.
I've been clearing up the bad idea of a front garden left by the previous owners. Wood chip and North facing and wet winter turned the garden into an authentic, organic, smelly, wet environment. Perfect for cat crapping and mushrooms but not very appealing otherwise.
So I dug out all the wood chip but at the base of the rainwater downpipe I was expecting to find a drain, probably clogged, under all the mess. No drain. Just some rubble making a rudimentary soak away.
S0, should I be expecting a more formal drain for rainwater? Should I be looking to upgrade the soak away?
Cheers in advance.
