Driveway that slopes down towards the house

Question

My driveway slopes down towards the house. There's very little drainage and I think it needs improving. What drainage systems and driveway surfaces would you recommend?

Robert · Answer

If you’ve got a small drain by your house, put some acro drains to run writing

Mirush · Answer

I recommend Permable concrete And the Resin And you doesn’t see water in the drive

Ray · Answer

You have a few options with soakaways but this all depends on how far from the house the soakaway can be located. Permeable paving would be an option but on a slope to the house it's better to create dams in the permeable system to allow the surface water to soakaway in allocated sections.
You need to measure the area and work out the M3 needed to accommodate then see where the soakaway crates can be located.

You will need to install a Aco rainwater drainage system. The best paving to use is permable paving blocks

James · Answer

I would lay Ako drains the right depth below the damp course tap in to the nearest gully and most paving is great for driveways depends on your preference and budget.

Thomas · Answer

If you have a down pipe near the house, you could put an aco channel drainage system in , but if you have no down pipes you would have to create a stone soak away boarder around the house and run a soak away into some where that doesn’t get used like a planet text

Block paving as water can soak through it and aco drainage at the bottom

Hi. The best thing to do its instal a linear drains all along the house. After that u can use any tipe of materials because all water will be drain strait into the drainage system.

Dan · Answer

What sort of driveway do you have ? Tarmac, concrete , block paving ? I would suggest running a gully drain at the end from one side to the other at the end it slopes too and connect it up to either the main drain or a shingle filled soakaway dug into the lawn if possible

Hi Danny

I would possibly install and ako drain to catch and discharge the water run off and use block paving as a surface as this will allow some surface water to be absorbed through the joints and slow down the run off.

Best regards
