divert rainwater into the drain?
I have a down pipe on a outhouse that drains into ground, which is now getting damp inside...there is a drain about a meter away, is there anything that can be attached to bottom of downpipe to divert rainwater into the drain...thanks

At the bottom of the downpipe put a 45 bend then add extra down pipe to reach the drain
Elbow and pipe to divert into drain
Sounds like its not providing any decent drainage and waters sitting in the ground, You could get a joint to fit to the bottom of the pipe and continue a pipe to divert the water to the drain. Or if there is concrete below instead of it being a trip hazard create a recess in the concrete to divert the water into the drain. Alternatively you could dig down 500mm and 500mm wide and fill the area full of chippings creating whats known as a soak away allowing the water to drain below the outhouses level.
Hi there,
you could try removing the shoe from the end of the pipe and adding a universal connection to the end that goes into the ground. Once you have added the connector, you can add a 1m length of rain pipe to the connection and divert the rainwater to the drain.
You would need to purchase some new brackets to attach the new diversion to the wall.
Hope this helps.
You could reduce the rain water pipe above the ground and fit a p trap gully and tap into the drain best option
Yes an offset bend and length of downpipe would be the simplest way to tackle this problem ,or a barrel of sorts to catch the rainwater which then can be used to water your garden flowers or grass if you have any ..
Yes go to nearest roofing materials yard with the size and make modal get a corner peaces for the dawn pipe and divert also need 1 ech side 1 for nexto wall where it will start to go at 40 dagree angle and 1 pointing dawn into drain
Extend with 90 degree angle to drain the put extra down pipe on
It's always best to dig a trench and connect underground. There are many different pipe connections out there to achieve the best route and flow. Do you have any photographs of the area? Best regards.
There should be a shoe attached to the bottom of the downpipe which you can turn left or right to divert the water or create a channel for the water to run from the downpipe to the drain
If its for foul no u can't combine the 2 anymore storm to storm yes you can put gully pot there and pipe in can't go it to any sewer drain
You could have some extra drainage fitted to the drain which will solve the problem
you could set a gully and pipe it straight to your drain. if its not in the way you could just use a drain pipe bend and extend the pipe straight to the drain
