Neighbours works have caused a flood
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.42 PM
Hi. My neighbour took 3 skips of soil out of garden and built a high wall on the boundary of my drive. He is lthe next door house down the hill. He sealed it with cement.Now I have a flood when it rains that does not run away. The other gardens have left a gap between my concrete drive and their walls with no problems for 20 years. What can we do please?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Break a hole in corner of wall, and put a pipe in it let any water get away

You just need to expose a gap in it. Use a core drill to drill out a hole then stick a pipe through it for the water to run through.

If your drive way is not letting water pass through then you will have to put a drain in like a French drain or similar. As your neighbour a put a wall on his land its not really his problem your driveway floods . But a drain will solve you issue.

Without seeing it I can't give a definite answer but ideally you need to direct to a drain as letting it run just anywhere could cause more problems , especially in freezing conditions
