I'd like to add two small drains to catch water which is collecting on my monoblock, near the side of the house. At both points there is a guttering downpipe - is it possible to just connect a small drain to the downpipe ?

I'd rather not have to lift the entire monoblock area, and wonder if lifting 3 or 4 blocks to give enough access to put a small plastic drain connected directly to the downpipe would work and be an acceptable way to drain the surface water ?

Thanks,

Alistair C.

if you dont want to lift the blocks you can run down pipe at an angle and round corners
but it looks pants
