Persistent puddles after rain? Those Victorian terraces in Thornton Heath weren't built with modern drainage in mind. A properly installed soakaway transforms waterlogged gardens into usable outdoor spaces year-round.

CR7's clay-heavy soil presents unique drainage challenges, particularly around the older properties near Brigstock Road. Traditional surface water solutions often fail here. Modern soakaway systems, designed specifically for London clay conditions, redirect excess water deep underground where it naturally disperses without flooding your lawn or damaging foundations.
Installation begins with percolation testing to determine your soil's absorption rate. Excavation follows precise calculations based on roof area and typical CR7 rainfall patterns. Permeable membranes prevent silt infiltration while allowing water passage. Graded aggregate layers create optimal flow rates, ensuring efficient drainage even during Thornton Heath's wettest winters.
Local knowledge matters when installing drainage systems beneath established gardens. Years working around South Norwood's mature trees and Broad Green's compact plots means minimal disruption to existing landscaping.
