I had to remove the step down from the house to the patio because it was breaching the damp proof course and causing all the end of the joists at the back of the house to become rotten. Now I am looking to rebuild it and tidy the whole area up.
I have glanced at the solutions here: http://www.pavingexpert.com/dpc01.htm
but it suggests any channel I put in, between the house and the step, needs to drain somewhere. However, the main drain seems awkward to easily drain in to.
Will i cause myself problems by letting the water just soak in to the ground? Or is there a better option?
