Hi,
I have been having a problem with rainwater pooling on my driveway and not draining away through two "drains".
Having taken the covers off I realised that they were completely full of soil, so I have dug that out, assuming that I would eventually get down to a pipe that connects to a nearby drain run.
However, when I dug down I actually found that the bottom of both of them have a slit that runs across the bottom, and digging as far into that as I can I just seem to hit more soil.
I have attached a couple of picks that show the drains.
If I keep digging will I eventually get down to a pipe that lead to the main drain run, or are these just designed to hold water and drain it into the ground?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
