Drain rods

[pwdrive]

Rain water soak away. Strange arrangement, rear half of the house goes to sewer, front half goes to soakaway.

Pity it all doesn't go to a soakaway, the water bill would be reduced.

Don't want to sound all doom and gloom but do you know if the soakaway is silted up? (assuming it's a hole in the ground filled up with hardcore type of soakaway)

If the soakaway is just the perforated or gaped pipe type surrounded by hardcore (ie: drainage field type) the whole of hardcore surrounding it could be clogged up, if the hardcore is fully clogged up throughout its length then it usually means the end, sometimes roots can clog up just a section.

Good luck whicheverways.
