HI, thanks for reply, didn't notice you had. I am still getting this issue despite replacing the seal, thinking water was getting in. I understand these doors can take in water and leave at bottom, as my tracking has weep holes in the outer track, but not the inside track. Surly its not normal...

Recently installed Bi-fold doors. When it rains (which is alot in the north east) we get water sitting in the inside track of doors. I have been told that water can get into the outside track and that's why there are weep holes. But the inside track should surly not have water. The...

Agree it would, may look into hiring one. Thanks.

Ok great, I will look to add conduit to this area and take away the water to elsehwere, I will also test the clay levels to see how deep my clay goes.

Thank you. I shall look at options for running a French drain away from this area, as this solution i have attempted isn't enough for the qty of water we get in the North East of England.

Thank you. My neighbours are new, so no good. I would ideally like to connect to drain on property, but its no where near. I have read soakaways are no good in clay soil, so no good. it seems French drain is only option, i could install underground drainage pipe to take water away from area, but...

Thanks, So you are saying i should lift up gravel and keep digging down ? I am worried the Clay will go on and on and i wont reach other anything else.

thank you, i guess this is my only option without digging up whole garden to lay drainage. I shall give it a go

Ok Great, thank you for advice, I shall try this .

Thank you for your replies, there is no water outlet anywhere near. So my next option would be French drain or soakaway I believe. If i were to dig down 6 inchs or so and back fill with just shingle, would this surfice? Or do you recommended i look at installing soakaway in this area? Thanks...

My patio runs away from house and water is pooling at bottom of patio. The water sits in this clay / mud for upto a day before slowly draining away, can someone advise on my options to stop this happening please. Thank you.

Hello, I shall be laying some paving in this area around my new extension. I was planning on laying this paving 2 bricks below DPC and with a gradient of 60:1 away from extension. Is it ok to do this or should I be installing some channel drainage along new extension ? My only issue is i...

I have contacted the fitter, he said he will drill some drainage holes in the white channel, is this normal ? I worry he's not addressing the issue of how water is getting there in first place? Thanks.
