Flooding Mitigation
Posted on 26th September 2024 at 16:32
Last winter saw heavy and persistent rainfall and as summer 2024 ends we have experienced further heavy rainfall and flash flooding in and around our yard to the north of Olney.
Over the years we’ve done a lot of work for new and retained clients to make sure their properties are weather-proof, even in extreme circumstances. This includes rainwater maintenance, sustainable drainage installations and redesigning driveways. We can also organise drainage surveys, carry out drone surveys of hard-to-reach roofs and re-lay paving to improve water run-off.
Recent jobs have included:
Fitting a ground water soakaway in a low-lying driveway to improve drainage during heavy rainfalls
Rainwater maintenance and replacement of metal downpipes on a Grade II* listed building
Creating a curved driveway and new acco drain to improve surface water run-off and avoid flash flooding in a front porch
Flat roof replacement and improving lead flashing design
Whilst these have been specific weather-related briefs we ensure we discuss practical aspects of a project with our clients or their design team prior to starting on site. We like to ensure that the jobs we complete are both practical as well as aesthetically pleasing.
If you’ve had problems with water ingress or are concerned about drainage or flash flooding then please get in touch.
