Tips for dealing with flooding
Are puddles in your garden during a rainstorm a familiar sight? Then your garden is not designed to handle the amount of water that needs to be processed. You can do something about this. Check out the tips below for solutions.
Tip 1: Remove tiles from your garden
Remove tiles from your garden. By replacing tiles in your garden with greenery, such as plants, trees, and grass, water can sink into the soil more easily in that area. This helps prevent flooding during heavy downpours. So get rid of those puddles!
Tip 2: Ensure your gutter is clean
Ensure your gutters are clean. If they become clogged with leaves or other debris, this can lead to flooding. Clean your gutters at least once a year to prevent problems. For more tips, visit the website Don't wait for water | What to do in case of flooding.

Ensure that any ditch bordering your property is kept clean. The ditch must maintain the specified width and depth to ensure proper water inflow and outflow. See theDitch Maintenance page.
