Project in SE PA, bought a foreclosure w A&S pool

So any water getting on to the pavers was going in the pool and what didn't go into the pool went towards the house. Major PITA.

That should be the finish of the 1, 2 punch! I wonder if that is why the other people walked away? Good job getting it all taken care of! Here is hoping it can handle a big storm.

Can you take the top off the drain? That will help keep it clean over time.

Pool water is clean after a few storms which is a huge victory.

TAKE THAT rain water!!! BAM!

Took way longer than expected and of course over budget.

It has been a long while and I bet some BIG money Glad to hear things are far enough along for you to move in. Do what you can when you can do it. It will get done in time.

Glad to see you ended up with a good long term solution. Only item to watch out for is storms during the fall when leaves could clog the surface drain. But that's a small issue comparatively.

Run a drain parallel to the wall and all the way to the house and place it as close to the coping and pitch the entire area towards the drain and then pipe it way off the backyard area.

That is the perfect solution for that problem. Looks like they did a nice job installing it. That was a smart move going with the oversized trench drain instead of one of the smaller stripped drains. That will be easy to maintain and will handle a huge amount of surface water.
