Hi reddiemercurystwin See new picture of what it looks like now Kind Regards

See new pic

Hi Ian Just posted a picture of what it looks like now. So shall I use drainage channels to direct the water to the sewer? if so where would it be best to place them and would I also need a pump for the bit I intend to lay the lawn in? Thanks

We bought this 3-bedroom end of terrace house and decided to have a side and back extension done. This is how the back garden looked like before the extension. Unfortunately since we had the work done we have had problems with rain surface water in the back garden and also under the concrete...

lol. Someone mentioned french drains maybe along the perimeter of my walls? (see my back garden pics)

That's a good point. No they did not test the ground at all. I dug about 30cm deep and took these samples. What do you think clay? It reminds me of plastercine at school. See sample photos and also a few more photos i have taken in the last few months of the garden.

:LOL:

they definitely used voide crates but not sure if they used membrane. CCTV confirmed that the soakaway is full of water

and shall i reduce the paving that has been laid to improve the situation?

so i guess the soakaway can be taken out? It is curently full of water and blocked. Also do I do anything about improving the soil and getting ride of all the cement, concrete and crap that is inside my garden cos when there is heavy rain it is water logged

Thanks Guys really appreciate the really useful feedback. My sacked builder should have known this :evil:.
