Question: is this the drain or should we be looking for a more conventional drain, ie square piece of plastic with a grill/cover on top? Thanks
I can only comment on court yard villas (CYV). I don’t not have porous drain pipe. My CYV has drain tube in back with oval drain cover sticking up the yard slopped to drain. Depending on style and location in villas it could be on left or right side? Depending on what previous owners may have done it may be hard to find? Also overgrown grass will some time cover it up. My house 20 plus years old, newer models maybe different?
