I'm pretty sure he meant freezing under the slab if you don't pipe the drain away.
You have to decide if having a drain grate is suitable or safe for the use the pad get put to.
water puddling on concrete patio every time it rains
have massive 70 x 30 patio in my back yard, it is always puddling water. We use as a basketball court and it makes it un-usable for 2 days every time it rains for an hour.
what are my options, can i just try putting a round 8" hole or so, in the center of where it puddles and put in a drain cover and hope the water will find its way down to the dirt under the slab?
