We have a 40 year old house in Seattle with a concrete driveway. The driveway is 40′ long with a 16% grade. One side has cracked severely and is washed out underneath. The driveway drain is at the base of the driveway in front of the garage. The water passing under the erroded driveway has eroded the concrete drain pipe. No the drain is filling with rocks, mud and slugs. The driveway has to be replaced and the drain repaired. I see my driveway options as asphalt and concrete. I would appreciate opinions based on the information provided. I there any way to sleeve the drain to prevent this from happening further down the drain?
