Thanks stonyboy. The semi detached next door is being renovated by a amateur developer due to the death of my previous neighbour. We share a combined sewage system and where it changes direction (90*) in his curtilage, to the main sewer, there is a buried shallow pit but minus cover plate. However there must something preventing soil from blocking sewer pipe. There has been a blockage there, twice, due a tree root in the past. I advised him of this and indicated where it could be found.
He said he couldn't find it. I have repeatedly told it is there as I have seen it but he does not believe me. Should I inform Building Control or wait until the new owner takes occupancy and let him know there should be a visible inspection pit cover? I don't know why the pit has not blocked, so far, as he has levelled the soil where the pit is?
