Front garden flooding

[Dylan123]

Hi,

we bought this house recently and I note the front garden under the bay window floods.

There are 2 drains but both above the level of the flooded water.

I’ve attached pictures (sorry they are a bit dark)

the water is about 1-2 inches deep.

Anyone know if this will affect the structure of the house? Anyone any idea how to fix this?

thanks - not sure if this is best in building or garden!

You need to allow that to get away..

Where is the drain?

My advice would be to lower the drain.

Lower the drain or dig out all that concrete around the house and put in a French drain. Even just digging down and filling it several inches with shingle will help the water have somewhere to go.
