Spinny Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 I have two rainwater downpipes running down from extension roof to be connected into pipe runs to a soakaway. Both downpipes are located at internal corners on the outside of the building. I have been shown standard bottle gullies which provide a water trap but cleaning or access for rodding seems a problem. I also see there are alternative gullies for downpipes which have a leaf catcher built in and a removal cover to clean, however they do not have a water trap to stop odour - is this something I should worry about ? What do people usually do for downpipe gullies to a soakaway (I am putting a silt trap in at the soakaway) ?
Russell griffiths Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 You do not need a water trap if the pipes run to a soakaway. You will not have any odour from a soakaway. you only get odour from a foul sewer. 1
dpmiller Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 you might need a trap if there are LPG cylinders in the locality
saveasteading Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 It is worth detailing to stop leaves and muck getting to the soakaway. Having the downpipes outlet onto grilled hoppers is standard.
