Just hand over my home and we plan to move in prior to Christmas. Thanks for the recent raining days and we suddenly identify some drainage issue and please provide your advice and hope we can resolve it not very expensive
The house is pretty much face north and slope from west to east less than 1m. The west side is the "disaster area", with two concrete pads (one for watertank). My neighbour next door (on the west side) has higher ground level and due to it is still a vacant block, it create a nature fall from its side to my site. The builder has built some retaining wall along the line but when it is rain, water with mud can still easily pass through the bottom gap of retaining wall and flood to my side.
The most annoying part is no drainage point found on this side except the one close rear garage door and redirect to drain under slab. Probelm with this only drainage point is it seems higher than the ground and not sure how to push it down into the ground. Please refer to the following pics:
I have no issue with the backyard drain as it has poured of large concrete path and nature slop to the east vacant block.
I am borrowing some diagrams from the following thread as I think it has similar situation of mine. Thanks EmeryBB and hope you do not mind

Question:
1. Three options as shown on the diagrams above, are these options still valid to my block?
2. How to connect the AG pipe to the drainage point close to rear garage door?
3. Any other better idea???
Thanks very much everyone
