Land Drainage & Flood Prevention
If your garden, driveway or property suffers from standing water, flooding or constantly saturated ground, land drainage systems can provide a long term solution.
We design and install land drains, soakaway systems and pumping stations to help control water and protect your property.
Common Flooding Problems
- Waterlogged gardens
- Standing water on driveways or patios
- Surface water flooding during heavy rain
- Basement or cellar flooding
- Overflowing drainage systems
- Poor ground drainage
- Water collecting around foundations
Land Drain Installation
Land drains are perforated drainage pipes installed underground to collect excess groundwater and redirect it away from the area.
These systems are commonly installed beneath lawns, gardens, driveways and fields to prevent water from building up in the soil.
When installed correctly with the right gradients and drainage materials, land drains can significantly reduce flooding and waterlogging.
Pump Stations for Flood Control
In some situations, gravity drainage alone is not enough to remove water from an area. In these cases, a pumping station may be required.
A pump chamber collects water and automatically pumps it to a suitable discharge point such as a drainage system, soakaway or outfall.
Pump stations are commonly used in basements, low level gardens, cellars and areas where natural drainage falls are not possible.
Land Drainage Systems We Install
- Perforated land drain systems
- French drains
- Soakaway installations
- Surface water drainage systems
- Drainage trenches
- Flood prevention systems
- Drainage improvements to existing systems
Each System Is Different
Every flooding problem is different. The correct solution depends on the ground conditions, water source, surrounding drainage and available discharge points.
Because of this, land drainage systems are normally quoted following a site inspection so we can design the most effective solution.
We will always explain the options available and recommend the most suitable system for your property.
Domestic & Commercial Work
We install land drainage systems for homeowners, landlords, farms, commercial properties and construction projects.
From small garden drainage improvements to larger flood control systems, we can design and install solutions that help manage excess water effectively.
