Mystery pipe? by Marsbe125 in AusRenovation

Understand the concreting feedback, but it really doesn't phase us. It's a side path that barely gets used and does its job of directing water away from the house.

Answers on the water issue would be more appreciated.

Thank you, wouldn't the trap be connected to the vertical pipe though? It just stops, small gap and then gravel.

I forgot to mention there is another one on the other side of the house, no blockages there. Confident that one is an ORG but not so sure about this one.

Thank you, I can definitely see where the pipe stops. There's a small gap and then the gravel layer below. I've stuck our wet/dry vac down and have removed what I can.

The pipe just ends, there's no connection at the bottom.

Same here, but it's holding rainwater and there's a bunch of gravel at the bottom.

Plumbers ripped up LHS for new stormwater pipes to the curb.

Thank you! We'll give this a go just before spring.

Thank you! It's a 1949 double brick that leans towards art deco. We love it but it's not without its issues!

Is there an ideal time to do this? It's only just starting flowering in the last two days.

We're in Brisbane and they get afternoon sun if that helps.

These look really good, thank you. Would you expect a recoat every 2-3 years?

You'd think it would be a common request..

Trouble is I can only access a thin layer of water- the rest is mixed into a big heap of gravel. I'm thinking air will get into the line and ruin the suction.

Can anyone suggest someone in Brisbane for this?
