Drainage Issue Below Deck, b/w Slab and pool deck

[Chris Vanderberry]

Hello BP World!

I just purchased a home that has a wood deck above ungraded dirt extending from the slab to the edge of the sidewalk around the pool. The issue I’m having is that the water pools beneath the wood deck and cannot drain or evaporate. What would be the best way to remediate the issue and ensure proper drainage to a slope. I already know I have to pull the deck up to verify condition of grade

I can provide pictures a little later if you need them.

Any advice is welcome! Looking to do this myself if possible.
