Hi All,
After some advice RE a new block paved driveway and drainage.
Our new driveway slopes towards our house, because of this we had a row of aco drainage placed a few feet away from the property along the width of the driveway. At one end it runs into a drain that already existed. At the other end it runs to, well, nowhere.
Amongst the waste that was left was an "end cap" which I put at the "non-drain" end and sealed in place to prevent the water from flowing out and hopefully encouraging it to go out the other end where the drain is. Upon checking the level of the "capped end", the first 3 aco's (out of the 11) encourage the flow to the capped end and now water just sits there.
Am I incorrect in fitting the end cap, should the water flow out both ends?! My understanding is wherever the water goes in, it should exit in the drain and NOT at both ends.
