Re: Corrugate Drain in Concrete
Maybe they were planning on installing gutters and running a downspout into the drainpipe/under the concrete and away from the house??

Re: Corrugate Drain in Concrete
Additionally, I am sure you got the units too close to each other, with the service side not at least 36" from the wall, and possibly under the roof runoff, along with probably not being anchored down properly, and being on flotation devices, and ... what's that pile of dirt up next to the wall at the right edge of the photo, and ...  |

Re: Corrugate Drain in Concrete
Gutter downspout extension, see the end peeking out of the mulch on the far right?
