Water that collects on a pool deck is a slipping hazard and a source of erosion, and it has to drain away from the house. The drains and the slope work together to move it.
The slope
The deck is pitched slightly away from the pool and the house so water runs off instead of pooling. Even a small slope makes a big difference.
The drains
Trench drains and slot drains catch the runoff at low points and carry it to a drain line or a dry well.
The clogs
Leaves and debris block the grates and the line, and a clog turns the deck into a puddle factory. hard water is common across the region, and older neighborhoods still have galvanized supply lines In Chattanooga, a fall clean keeps them clear.
The discharge
The runoff must go somewhere legal — a storm drain, a dry well, or a low area — not into the neighbor's yard.
