Persistent puddles around your Putney property? Those soggy patches near the conservatory aren't going anywhere without proper drainage intervention.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces throughout SW15 face unique drainage challenges, particularly where original clay soils meet modern extensions. Heavy rainfall transforms manicured lawns into temporary marshlands, while paved driveways channel water straight towards foundations. French drains redirect this unwanted moisture away from vulnerable structures, protecting both your investment and your sanity.
Installation begins with precise gradient calculations - even Putney's relatively flat terrain requires careful planning. Perforated pipes wrapped in geotextile fabric prevent soil infiltration whilst maintaining water flow. Gravel backfill creates an efficient collection zone. Strategic positioning intercepts surface water before it becomes a problem, whether that's alongside your boundary wall or beneath that troublesome dip near the garage.
Local knowledge matters when excavating near mature plane trees common to Putney streets. Understanding SW15's building regulations saves time and prevents costly mistakes.

Most residential French drain systems in SW15 range between £1,800-£4,500, depending on garden complexity and access restrictions common to terraced properties.
Absolutely - from Putney Heath's larger plots to Roehampton's sloping gardens and Barnes' riverside properties, drainage solutions are tailored to each location's specific challenges.
Standard residential installations typically complete within 3-5 days, though extensive systems serving multiple problem areas might require a full week.
Each French drain system carries decade-long protection against defects, covering both materials and workmanship - essential peace of mind given Putney's variable weather patterns.
Certainly - perimeter drainage effectively intercepts groundwater before it reaches foundation walls, particularly beneficial for SW15's many converted Victorian basements.
