Driveway Slope

Daith · 2019-06-05 07:35:14

Hi all, The folks' front garden is sloped towards the house (Dublin council house deal). This means rain water tends to build up at the bottom of the house. I've always meant to get this sorted for them. Is it possible/hard work to get a drain at the bottom? Or anything to help funnel the water?
