TastyBeverage Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Hi, Recently moved house. Built around 10 years ago, Redrow build, detached houses. There are 5 drain/manhole? covers on the driveway. Would they be all connected to my property? I want to open them and understand what they are for and why so many! I've been used to one waste water cover from a 1960s house, was straight forward if there were a problem. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Trev Edited December 3, 2023 by TastyBeverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Lift the lids and have a look, run a tap and see where it comes out. Problem solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of answer did you want ? they could be all yours, or they could be from next door. They could be rainwater, they could be sewerage, it could be a grease trap. simple answer. Lift the lids and run a tap. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. You can actually get a drain dye to put in your sink, toilet to tell what one is yours. Go on get out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 It's worth investing in a pair of manhole keys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
