Ok here are the pics. The street would be in the background and is lower than the property so rainwater in this area flows that way. The pipe drains water in that area and keeps it wet. Then when it rains, the rainwater is just carrying the soil away I guess.


This is how the pipe was originally situated.


Then he put an elbow on it a few days ago.


Here is the erosion. Hard to see but I can get my arm in there.

1. I guess I need to waste a few hundred dollars on a survey because I need to know exactly where my property line is because it might be on my property.

2. Any suggestions on how to fix the erosion? Have someone shoot polyurethane foam under there? or maybe get concrete in somehow?

I put topsoil in the void originally and it washed away with the quickness. I guess after I fill it, I need to put more compact clay up against the concrete?

If the end of that pipe is on your property, I'd cap it and pour a sack of concrete like others have suggested. He's essentially dumping onto your property.

Very unsightly as well just plain fricked up. I'd tell ole boy he needed to do something.

Looks like the perfect size for that sump pump I mentioned earlier.

frick that, if that fence is the property line what he has done is illegal. You can't discharge your pool pump on someone else's property. He would be moving it or replacing his pump because I would pump that line full of epoxy grout.
