As mentioned within a thread on another subject, we have removed an old conservatory which was around 30 years old. We are now left with the concrete base and at present it is holding water when it raina which does pool up to the rear wall of the house. The base seems to be slightly lower on the right hand side on these images, as about an inch of the DPC can be seen above the base on the far right. Towards the left hand side of the base near the back door, the base seems to be flush with the DPC and no blue bricks can be seen above it.
An ACO rain drain set against the rear was suggested to me as a possible cost effective solution, running towards the downpipe which can be seen on the right.
Would this be acceptable and protect the house from potential damp?
In time ideally we may wish to have the whole base removed and paved but at the moment we may wish to keep the cost down as much as possible.
Thanks all.
