Hi
so my house used to overflow sometimes in high storms we installed a new gutter downspout to stop this
And put a bottom pipe to let water go down away from foundation to the lawn
is this setup is fine and good ?
or not good ? And i have to dig and get someone run a pipe to the other downspout near the second window?
Hi @Ak100oz,
A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.
Ultimately, what you've done is better than having the water discharge so close to your foundations, but it would certainly be better to have it connected to a stormwater pipe.
As this is plumbing work that requires a licence, you'll have to contact a plumber for assistance with this.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

So I get a plumber to get a pipe run to the other downspout after second window and hide the pipe under the mulch and no need this small pooling issue anymore?
