i can find nothing on drainage at
http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/contents.html

i have a downpipe hanging loose,
whilst fixing it i would like to add rainwater collecting, can i fit
some kind of valve high up
so that water can come down a pipe to a rainwater collecter but if
theres loads of rain it will overflow down the existing pipe?

Will the new rainwater colecting pipe be able to be buried and to go
round the house and then up again to almost the height it started at?

any links to help me please?

Search for "rain diverters"



But beware. I fitted one, and the next ting water was ****ing out of it.

Leaves caught in it and blocked it..
