🛠️ Our Specialised Garden Drainage Systems

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Our solutions are designed after a thorough site assessment to ensure maximum effectiveness, protecting your patio, driveway, lawn, and foundations. We install and maintain all major garden drainage types:

Drainage System | Best For | Key Benefit |

| French Drains | Large, waterlogged lawns and open areas. | Highly effective at intercepting and moving large volumes of subsurface water. |

| Soakaways/Attenuation Crates | Managing water runoff where connecting to a public drain is unfeasible. | Collects and holds surface water, allowing it to slowly soak into the surrounding ground (groundwater recharge). |

| Channel Drains (Aco Drains) | Paved areas like driveways, patios, and paths. | Neatly collects surface runoff before it reaches your garden or house. |

| Land Drains (Perforated Pipe) | Agricultural and heavily compacted soil areas. | Buried pipework that collects water from the soil and directs it to an outlet. |

Connecting to Your House Rainwater System

Effective garden drainage often involves integrating with your existing home drainage. Most modern properties in North Ayrshire have a separate system: one for foul water (sinks, toilets) and one for surface water or rainwater runoff (gutters, downpipes).

 * The Connection Point: Garden drainage systems (French drains, channel drains) are typically routed to the existing surface water drain (often via a gully or inspection chamber) or a dedicated soakaway.

 * Regulatory Compliance: It is crucial that garden drainage is NEVER connected to the foul water sewer, as this can cause environmental issues and serious sewer capacity problems. Our engineers ensure all installations comply with local North Ayrshire building regulations and water authority guidelines, providing a safe and compliant drainage solution.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q1: How do I know if I need a new drainage system in my garden?

A: The most common sign is standing water or soggy patches lasting more than 48 hours after rain. Other indicators include moss growth, water pooling near your house foundations, or if your lawn feels "squishy" underfoot even in dry periods. Properties in new areas like Tarryholme, Kings Meadow or Montgomery Park may sometimes require an upgrade to existing contractor-installed systems.

Q2: What is the difference between a French Drain and a Soakaway?

A: A French Drain is a trench containing a perforated pipe and gravel, designed to collect and redirect water away from an area. A Soakaway is an underground pit or crate system designed to store a large volume of water temporarily and allow it to slowly seep back into the ground, acting as the final discharge point for your drainage system.

Q3: Can I connect my garden drainage to my house's gutter downpipes?

A: Yes, you can. Your house's downpipes connect to the surface water drainage system. By routing your garden drainage (such as channel drains) to this system, you efficiently divert the excess water away from your garden and into the municipal surface water sewer or a soakaway, keeping your lawn dry. Our team ensures this connection is made correctly and safely.
