Heavy rainfall doesn't have to mean waterlogged gardens or damp foundations in Catford. Those steep slopes towards the Ravensbourne River make proper drainage essential for SE6 properties.

Victorian terraces along Catford Road face unique drainage challenges with their narrow rear gardens and original clay soil. Modern developments near the shopping centre struggle equally when downpours overwhelm inadequate soakaways. Smart drainage design transforms problem patches into dry, usable spaces year-round.
Channel drains intercept runoff before it pools against your home's brickwork. French drain systems redirect excess water away from foundations, particularly crucial for properties built on London clay. Permeable paving works brilliantly for driveways, letting rainwater filter through rather than rushing toward already-stressed street drains.
Twenty years solving Catford's drainage puzzles means knowing exactly where water collects after storms. Local knowledge matters when dealing with SE6's varying ground conditions and planning requirements.

Definitely. Intercepting surface water before it reaches foundations significantly reduces hydrostatic pressure against basement walls, though severe cases might need additional tanking measures.
