Really Off Topic - Drainage pipe under foundation
Hey everyone - so I have a drainage pipe leading from my backyard to the front of the garage foundation. The backyard is higher than the front by about two feet.
The pipes compromised half way through - it's evident through wet spots in the garage. My plan was to dig the back out - I did and found the entrance. I was going to cap this and run a drain around the house. There's a metal wire - running near this pipe that splits - half of it actually runs into the pipe and the other half deeper into the ground. I think it's a ground wire for something - so I can't cap it off... Anyone have any ideas / experiences?

Is it a bare or insulated wire? Is the pipe metal or plastic/PVC? The wire splits?, Where does the other end go?

I feel like this running through out of ease as well as serving as a drainage pipe and giving it two purposes is giving too much credit to the original builders haha Quote:
I'll get some pictures tomorrow - it's dark out. Thanks for the input so far everyone. |

My plan B right now is to feed a plastic hose that's slightly smaller diameter all the way through - seal each end around the difference in diameter. Compromised pipe solved.
