Drainage and underground plumbing

While not the most exciting of items in the construction process, good drainage is absolutely essential to the long term integrity of your home.

• Are the pipes in the correct position, e.g. are they not located where you may want to put paths or gardens?
• Are the drain holes or pipe vents in locations that will interfere with future use of the grounds, e.g. are they where you may want to put paths or entertaining areas?
• Are the vents in the right position?
• Will the drains carry sufficient water?
• Does your drainage system meet with the building code – e.g. do you need retaining tanks
