Why did drainpipes used to have a box on the wall, some sort of
overflow
if blocked? See link below for an example photo.

yip hopper heads were for that function and others....usually in the
days of three pipe systems foul waste and rainwater....then again
cast
iron rainwater downpipes weren't usually cocked if they were for
rainwater only and if the drain blocked the water ****ed out of the
first joint above ground......
What's the advantage of your waste spilling all over the garden
instead
of just not leaving the bath?
what ? ...
If the pipe is blocked and you empty your bath, then if you have a box,
the water goes everywhere outside. If you have no box, the bath just
stays full and you call a plumber. The second one is preferable
obviously.
In a one pipe combined drainage system where there is no storm water
sewer and if the drain blocks underground and it is raining the water
will back up and will come up the lowest appliance the bath if the
rainwater is into the top of the SVP ....you will have a flood in the
house big time... would like to see you bailing out the bath quicker
than the water backs up into it .......the best way is to take the
rainwater down in its own downpipe to ground level and trap it off into
the combined drain with a vented trap ...then if the underground drain
blocks the rainwater will come out the trap at ground level..... two
pipe systems don't have a vented rainwater trap and the rainwater
downpipe joints are not usually cocked......to be honest hoppers were
just convenient ways of taking pipes from various beaks in the roof to
one downpipe...preferably NOT the SVP for the above reason....sorry I
didn't understand your question ...still don't but HTH ....
Here the rainwater pipes do NOT connect to sanitary sewers AT ALL
WHY do you CAPITALISE for NO reason?
And nowadays we do have seperate piping. Costs more to install two sets
of pipes under the road, but saves money having to clean less waste, but
What??? You already have a *sullage system*. It's more commonly known
as a *storm water system*. The street drains feed into it and that's
where household sullage lines should also feed into. The sewerage is and
always should be separate (note spelling).
It isn't on older houses. I don't know when they introduced storm drains as being seperate. I agree it would be strange if they had those but connected the houses just to the sewer.
when someone connects something to the wrong pipe as I've done for
convenience, sewage goes into the sea.
P.S. you just replied to someone in a uk group and removed that group,
so he didn't see your reply. ****wit.
How to win friends and influence people.
Contrarywise, it is in fact Clare who is not allowing UK folk to see her replies, which is rude.
