Neighbours drive sheds water onto party wall




Hi

I have just moved in to this new house, and have noticed next door's drive slopes down to our external wall which forms the boundary between our properties. In heavy rain it runs alongside the wall before draining off into the pavement. There is some sign of minor water ingress in the cellar along that wall internally.

I don't want to p!$$ next door off so soon after moving in, but would rather rectify the situation. What are my options? I was thinking channel drain at the base of the wall, but there is no obvious place to outlet to.

Having looked at the picture I don't think the aqua drain channels will work. I would suggest you look at the Drive sett drain channel. This is a simple curved paving block that could replace the existing paving on your neighbours drive.

This would still direct the water onto the road but that is your neighbours problem not yours.

I would suggest you chat to the neighbour and explain the problem then offer the solution. Up to you if you want to pay for it but that might be a good way to get the neighbour on your side.
this could be tricky. i would build the wall as you go. remember to place a perforated drainage pipe behind the wall, at the bottom, and some 2b stone to accommodate water removal away from the wall. pitch the wall back a little every course, and if you are using 4 by 4's or 6 by 6's, remember to place a 4 by 4 every so often from the wall (attached to the wall) back into the soil. these beams will help the wall from moving forward due to the weight and pressure of the soil.
you can find good examples on the internet.
good luck! *If you own a front loading washing machine and it begins to leak water from underneath, the first thing to learn is where is the water leaking from. On my Frigidare washer (GLTF1240A), there is a lower panel underneath the loading door. There are two philips screws to remove and then the panel can be removed. Use a flashlight as you run a load of clothes. I found the water was coming from the bottom of the round wash tank, where several bolts hold it together.* i've wondered this myself. all of my black neighbors in my apartment buildings back in to the parking spots. the funny thing is, they can't seem to back in straight. i don't know what it is. one of my neighbors even purposefully takes up two spots so his truck won't get scratched. good question. report the incident to the police & to your home insurers before you do any cleanup. take pictures (with obvious landmarks like trees, other buildings, etc. so the vandalism can be identified back to your property) of the mess so you have some evidence. give the best description you can and you'll be asked if there's anyone you might suspect. could be that the nails used to anchor the ceiling product or the nails in the crossbeams are rusting. the humidity is causing the rust to leach into the ceiling product. since you say they are in a line, this makes sense.

the only thing you can do is to prime over them and repaint. I had same problem it is a ground wire broken in the harness rubber boot between dthe driver door. Peel back the rubber that protects wires and you will find broken ground wire(black) add a piece of wire solder and wrap with electrical tape put rubber boot back into door everything should work. i have alot of evacuee neighbors and i cant stand them.....dang leeches. it looks like you are right, this appears to be an issue. i will make sure that it gets fixed soon. hey tarun, there might be days when you won't be able to step out because of rain at all. you really have to be prepared for that. after all it will be the monsoon season. They move the moisture out of the dryer and into whatever environment they are in, such as a room.
