Those heavy downpours that flood your patio and turn lawn edges into swamps? Sanderstead's chalk hills and clay pockets create unique drainage headaches. Let's sort your waterlogged garden properly.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian and Edwardian properties around Limpsfield Road often struggle with outdated soakaways that simply can't cope anymore. Modern rainfall patterns overwhelm systems designed decades ago, leaving driveways awash and foundations vulnerable. Your neighbours in Hamsey Green probably share similar tales of water pooling against garage walls after storms. Smart drainage design transforms problem plots into dry, useable spaces year-round.
Channel drains intercept runoff before it reaches vulnerable spots. French drains guide excess water away from structures using gravity and gravel-filled trenches. Permeable paving allows rain to filter through rather than rushing towards your home. Each Sanderstead property needs its own approach - what works for bungalows near Purley Oaks might fail completely on sloped gardens towards South Croydon.
Twenty-three years solving drainage puzzles across CR2 means recognising problems before they escalate. Local knowledge matters when chalk meets clay beneath your lawn.
