Standing water after heavy rain shouldn't be part of your garden's character. Wallington's clay soil and Victorian-era drainage infrastructure create unique challenges that proper surface water management can solve.
Response within 24 hours
Those puddles forming near your conservatory aren't just inconvenient - they're telling you something important about water flow across your property. Many Wallington homes sit on London clay, which means rainwater struggles to soak away naturally. Combined with the area's sloping terrain towards the Wandle Valley, surface water needs somewhere sensible to go, particularly during those sudden downpours that catch everyone off guard.
Modern drainage design considers everything from your driveway's gradient to where gutters discharge. Channel drains intercept runoff before it reaches vulnerable areas, while soakaways give excess water time to percolate safely underground. Strategic placement matters enormously - a drain positioned incorrectly by just half a metre might miss the natural flow path entirely. French drains alongside boundaries work brilliantly where neighbouring properties create additional runoff challenges.
