We have a small patio to the side of our house with a drain for surface water to run off into and it’s a bit blocked, so heavy rain is causing some standing water as it can’t drain away quick enough. I had a dig about and it’s feels like there’s a lot of silt down there. The drain’s too small to get a shovel down to remove it.
Any diy options for sorting or best to get someone in?
I’ve just dug half a bucket of mud from a second drain that’s connected and blasted it with the hose, but hasn’t made any difference. I think it’s gonna need jetting unfortunately
