  • Did the downpipe not go into the same drain?

    Yes. Idk why if it's a neatness thing or to prevent the splashback.

    but do you have standing water on the right?

    Yes. Most of the time it's OK, but the gradient is not correct. There is a slight dip for c.1m. I wanted the patio guys to cut it all out with a angle grindet and put some stones, but they assured me it was fine / too much effort....

    ... That said having seen where the drain runs they would have likely cut into it and fucked it. So I wasn't right.

    I should add that the pic is after the initial cut in the pipe, so a whole vertical drainpipe* worth of water had just been spewed out in one go.

    *less 2ft of compacted moss sludge

  • cant see there being anything wrong with the new set up but I can imagine the elbow underground taking it into that drain would potentially get blocked quite easily, though once the downpipe got cut I guess you could see where it was blocked.
