Hi there,

Our garden level seems to have been raised previously, it's higher than the inside of our house and is breaching the DPC, so we need to lower it. We have two drains in the garden, one water and one sewer. I was just wondering if anyone could give any advice on how hard/easy this might be to do? Potential DIY job or does it need to be a professional? And whether we need to get in touch with our water company or not?

Here's a photo of each (the inside of the water one looks quite new to me?!). The sewer has a PVC lining, so does that mean it'll need a new lining or would we just cut the top off of this one?

Thanks in advance for any help (and sorry for the gross photo/subject!)
