What happens here

The video begins by highlighting a common drainage challenge around a residential property featuring a large patio and an adjacent swimming pool. The issue is described as an 'impossible drainage sitch' where storm water runoff from both the patio and the pool deck (which is flat and not adequately sloped) would otherwise pool or flow in undesirable directions. The presenter indicates that the concrete surfaces are flat, meaning there is no natural pitch to direct water away from the structures or into a specific area.

Goal: Understand the stormwater runoff problem on a flat patio and pool deck
