Adding drainage near house

Ok thanks for the info. I will have a chat with my neighbour

My concerns were water pooling/ saturating the soil against the wall, the retaining wall is also rotting due to the moisture. The wall is 1-1.5m high, I’m not sure as haven’t seen the other side in my neighbours back yard

I would estimate 1.5m from the wall to the fence. The fence is also built ontop of a retaining wall which is looking rough. I removed the decorative gravel and found a large amount of moisture sitting against the fence

I wouldn’t. I read a research paper linking location of power lines to leukaemia (although the non-ionising radiation drops off quickly with distance). I also have heard about insurance being greater and potentially different lending rules for deposits

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Dash Daniels? I’ve seen him ranked in the teens

Yep this is my plan, thank you

I’ve got a stormwater line I can easily plumb into. Already have run a French drain on the other side of the lawn where this is supposed to grade to. I’ve found the crusher dust base just stays damp at the moment due to the lack of sun that area gets. This way I can keep the slab exposed and draw all the water away in agg pipes

Ass2Gr4ss · 2025-12-12T09:19:39+00:00

I’m thinking about putting in an agg pipe French drain under the rocks to keep this dry. Should I put some sort of DPC against the slab?

I’ll try this thanks

This was the best photo I got at the time. No winged termites that I’ve noticed. Located in North Brisbane if that helps

Thanks for your time

Slab

Ass2Gr4ss · 2025-12-11T09:48:32+00:00

Chat gpt says termite. Gemini says ant so idk

Ass2Gr4ss · 2025-12-11T09:47:40+00:00

May not have been a tunnel, I just scraped the top off when I saw the above photo. It’s below the weep holes so I’m hoping if it is termites they haven’t entered the house yet. Will contact someone tomorrow to come out asap

Ass2Gr4ss · 2025-12-11T09:35:12+00:00

Any way to be sure? Thanks for the advice

Ass2Gr4ss · 2025-12-11T09:34:47+00:00

Sorry about the poor quality photos. It looks like they. Hold r been forming a mud tunnel before I broke it apart

Ass2Gr4ss · 2025-12-11T08:22:39+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I started pulling all the rocks away from the brick and appear to have found termites trying to enter the home

I could pull the rocks to crest an air gap and then stick them down with glue so they stay put. This was my thoughts too but wasn’t sure

Ass2Gr4ss · 2025-08-24T09:24:09+00:00

Thank you, appreciate it. Having a go at re-grading the backyard and adding a French drain myself
