I’ve run into several drainage problems over the years, most of which weren’t really solved cause you just can’t make water do something it doesn’t want. My current dilemma is a flooding back porch. It’s cut into a hill. Ground level is about +2’ at the far end of the porch and water drains to that side, away from the house. After a good rain, it’ll fill up and stay full for a couple days. The water table is far below (I’ve dug 5’ and was bone dry) and soil is sandy and just a tad bit dusty.
An actual drain pipe is pretty much out of the question. Would a wellpoint be a good option? I could knock a brick out of the retaining wall and drive a wellpoint there to get some surface area down in the ground for the water to soak in quicker. Would that make a noticeable difference?
