Hi there
we’ve just moved into a house and over the past few days have noticed a grid on the drive having water pool round and over it when it rains. I’ve just had a look at it and it was full of soil. I’ve cleared the soil out and it appears to be a square clay drain that goes down approximately 1 foot. Then at the side is what looks like a circular cut out that is full of stones and soil. I’ve attached a pic but don’t know how much use it is .
what I’m wondering is, is it a soak away that I just need to live with that in the rain it doesn’t drain too well or is it a drain that over time has filled with stones and muck?
Thanks
Dougie
