The DALROD Nottingham team provide a homeowner with peace of mind for the winter months and beyond by installing a new French Drain system.
When it comes to safeguarding your home from the unpredictable British weather, DALROD are here to help.
Recently, DALROD Nottingham undertook a critical project that highlights our commitment to providing the best drainage solutions, ensuring homeowners can live stress-free, even during the heaviest downpours!
The Challenge: A Flood-Prone Property
A Nottingham homeowner called DALROD to investigate a flooded area outside of their property. The flooding was causing access issues into their home as surface water was not draining away.
The existing drainage system couldn’t cope with heavy rain and was threating the home’s foundations.
The Solution: Installing a French Drain System
DALROD’s engineers stepped in with a comprehensive plan to install an 11-metre French Drain system, seamlessly connecting it to the existing storm drain. The solution was designed to efficiently channel water away from the property, preventing future flooding and protecting the home’s structural integrity.
Overcoming Obstacles: A Small Sacrifice for Peace of Mind
To implement this solution, all plants outside needed removing. While this is obviously not ideal, the result was a fully functioning drainage system that now allows for water to drain away effectively. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing their home is protected from potential water damage.
The Result: A Happy, Stress-Free Homeowner
Thanks to DALROD Nottingham’s swift and professional intervention, the homeowner no longer has to worry about flooding or damage to their property. The new drainage system ensures that rainwater is efficiently managed, providing long-term protection and stability for the property.
What is a French Drainage System?
French Drains are a crucial component in managing and preventing water logging and excess surface water. A trench is dug at a gradient into the ground, lined with membrane, filled with gravel and a perforated drainage pipe installed.
What are the benefits?
- Home owners can effectively manage water runoff, prevent water logging and excess of surface water, soil saturation and potential flooding
- Protects your property foundations
- Enhances drainage efficiency
- Erosion control
- Safe guarding properties against water related damage and maintain the integrity of landscapes
- French drainage is an effective way in managing excess water around your property, but it still needs your help with relatively low maintenance.
