Should I do something or leave alone ?

1 concern 

 

I reported sometime ago this upstand leaks in really heavy rain . Yes ! It’s way to shallow !

Easy to test and prove just by sticking a hose jetting on that edge . There is a bit of a lip I.e where frame over hangs upstand .

Cant possibly ‘see’ it so was thinking maybe expanding foam up under this lip and cut it back ?

This is the lip

2nd thing is a concern .

As my roof runs out to the front of the building with a fall . I noticed the ‘trench ‘ filled with mud . I cleaned it all out .

Afterwards thinking that was probably a bad idea ? - now the trench is deeper and holds more water .

No leak . But , should I perhaps fill trench with chippings to not allow so much water to sit but equally allow it to flow over and out down my block paving …???

Where did the mud come from?  Its hard to tell from the image......

I ask because I'm not sure whether you have merely one problem or several.

If the issue is the mud - stop that, and (one of ) the problems disappears, perhaps? Could it be that when the drive is swept, the rubbish ends up in the 'trench' ? Or do you jet wash your wheel arches and the mud gets into the trench

I have decking on the otherside so I assume when it rains or I  jet wash all the rubbish gets washed into that trench.

Cleaned out the trench . 2 full buckets of mud / soil - magic where it comes from .

If I put the hose on the trench takes a good 15 minutes to fill - so can hold a fair bit of water .

No issue - but worries me . Fill with chippings ? Just so not as much water will accumulate there ??
