Driveways & Paving

Help! Pool of water on paving after cleaning

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 4.04 PM

I havr a drive that is blocked paved. It is a really old driveway and i havr a slight dip by my front door. I have had numerous trades people out to see if this can be raised level or a drain put in but unfortunately it cannot be done as i would need the majority of my driveay relaid and it is too espensive. It is only an issue when we have heavy downpours and then it drains away through the bricks. Anyway I had it professuonally cleaned yesterday and resanded and sealed. It is now raining and the water is not draining away at all. Is this because it was resanded and sealed and water cannot drain through? If so how can i fix this. Do i need to scrape out the sand between the joints and resand? Any advice would be appreciated. I cannot afford to get it relaid and there is no way to put in drainage / soakaway. Thanks
