I have a duplex on the Goldie in Queensland, bottom of my driveway has a grate which connects to a 100mm agi pipe 500mm deep that runs around the side of my house, takes a turn under my patio then a turn out to the back outside my fence into a gravel pit.
My property backs onto a park with a decent 30m bank going down.
At the pit it has a pvc Y connection with an agi pipe going directly into the gravel and one going straight up as an overflow, when I get heavy rain it builds up at the driveway grate and floods the garage.
It's obviously struggling to release the water as the overflow has to go up 500mm.
I'm thinking would be easier to run a pipe straight out down the bank?
Also wondering could the run off from the washing machine be connected to this agi pipe and also going into the gravel pit.
Property was built in early 90's.
I've have the pipe jetted and a camera through it.
Any advice grately appreciated.
 
As above but I think you know that the washing machine won’t be allowed to connect into it as the waste water is untreated
