At Drain Medic our civil division has been working hard to resolve serious drainage issues for businesses dealing with flooding caused by failing soakaway drains. When heavy rain falls and water has nowhere to go it can lead to large areas being submerged disrupting operations and creating significant inconvenience. Standing water can affect access points damage surfaces and create potential safety hazards for staff and customers


When faced with a site where the soakaway drains had stopped functioning properly our team stepped in to provide a permanent and effective solution. We installed two new surface water gullies designed to efficiently channel excess rainwater into the main drainage system preventing further water buildup and ensuring a smooth drainage flow. By connecting these gullies to the main system we created a long-term solution that will keep water levels under control even during extreme weather conditions


Once the new drainage system was in place our team restored the area by re-tarmacking the affected surface leaving no trace of disruption. After installation we carried out a full clean-up washing down the entire site to ensure the space was left in excellent condition. Now with fully operational drainage in place the area is protected against future flooding providing peace of mind for the business owner and ensuring minimal disruption during periods of heavy rainfall
