Hello
I've just had a new driveway put in my 1930's semi and in areas it slopes towards the house. We went with a reputable company and apart from the slope towards the house in places they've done a really good job. As it's 1930's its suspended timber floors so I don't want water flooding underneath it and giving us damp and root in the house. The gradient isn't massive, but it's enough to mean water runs the wrong way towards the house in places
We are where we are, clearly lots of issues above. I guess what I need to know what are my options now to rectify this? Couple of suggestions below:
1. Get the company/someone else to angle grind the drive up and retro fit some drainage channels that take the water away (can this be done? how neat can it be done retrospectively)?
2. Fit some sort of thin tile/sloped tile on top of the edging and seal it all like mad so it creates a runaway channel towards the flower bed on the left of some photos
TIA
