Flagstone Patio doesn't drain!

I had a 14x16 flagstone patio installed a month ago. After spending 20 hours cleaning each stone of the mortar left by the mason, followed by sealing, I've come to realize I've got a bigger problem. The patio does not drain. The rain water will stay for a week if I don't pushbroom it off.
Is there a solution to this problem other than jackhammering it out and redoing it? I have a drainage system under the patio that moves groundwater to lower part of property. But can this patio be saved? Your help would be greatly appreciated. This was supposed to be my dream patio, but it's so far just been my worst nightmare!
