    Stop Water Before It Enters in Suffolk, Norfolk & Essex

    Many damp problems in houses are caused by the ground outside. If your external ground levels are too high (bridging the DPC), or if your garden slopes towards the house creating a "moat" effect, you are putting your property at risk of severe penetrating damp.

    We install specialist external drainage systems to lower the water table around your home and direct surface water away from the masonry. This is often the first line of defence in a comprehensive damp proofing strategy.

    Installing perforated land drains in gravel trenches to collect groundwater and divert it to a soakaway or storm drain.

    Garden Drainage Questions

    How can I distinguish surface water pooling from a drainage fault?

    Note where water gathers, how long it remains after rain and whether the same area is affected during dry weather. Check for blocked gullies, downpipes discharging nearby and changes to paving or ground levels. These clues help narrow down the issue but do not prove the cause; buried services, soil and outfalls may also need checking. Identify where water can safely discharge before planning a drainage change. French drains are one option to assess.
