I recently replaced my old timber fence with a block wall from the back of my 3 bed semi. I now have a problem with flooding that stretches from the back wall to mid way of my new wall. It extends to about 4 feet from my new wall into the garden. I'm guessing that the foundations of the new wall is now blocking any natural drainage that was there before.
