What are the Benefits of Land Drains in the UK?

Thanks to advances in industrial technology, land drains can effectively be installed in practically any surface. Heavy soils, with poor drainage abilities, can benefit most from these solutions as they can allow the water to be pulled down through the soil, preventing standing or trapped water from causing structural problems.

In addition to structural issues, there are also short-term practical considerations which need to be dealt with. If you’re suffering from a waterlogged lawn, then it can not only be extremely unpleasant to look at or walk over, but it can lead to a range of unpleasant smells.

By installing effective land drains on your property, you’ll be able to eliminate standing and puddling water on your property, no mater what kind of soil you are dealing with. As soon as the land drains have been installed, our team will also be able to completely re-turf the affected area. This way, you aren’t forced to limit yourself in terms of garden design.

What Causes these Drainage Problems?

There are all kinds of issues which can lead to waterlogging across your entire property. Sometimes it is due to your soil being too heavy, or if it has become compacted over the years. Other concerns are clay, low-lying land and if your property is in a floodplain area.

In addition to more natural issues with your space, there are also concerns relating to man-made structures. Features like retaining walls or structural footings for extensions can all cause rain water or other flooding to be diverted, which can lead to waterlogging.
