The pump sent the water to a portion of the side yard that wasn't used and drained quickly. Problem solved!

A good “Plan B” (Backup plan) !

Why is electrical conduit not usable? Some say chemicals in it make it unusable for potable water, but I need it for rain runoff.
The pavers on the left are sloping left, that's where i want to put the 9x9" plastic drain that I bought.

Storm and sewer drain pipes aren't expensive and they come in 10 foot lengths. It is very common to place around the footings of a basement.

A runnel might work:

A string level will let you know there is a lower place in the yard to direct the water. The slope only needs to be 1/4" per ft.

There are several organizations in FL which might help. A form of rain garden to direct the runnel to might help.

Your extension agent should be able to provide information on rain gardens. Where I live - not in FL -, there is a fund which helps defer the costs of installing drainage since they want the water to go into the ground and not onto pavement.
