Water under house

[14-7]

After all the rainfall we've had in the last two days I got home tonight to find water pretty much all around the house about 6-8 inches deep. Being a bit curious I decided to quickly lift a floor board under the utility room at the front of the house to discover that there was about 4 inches of water there. Moved to half way back in the house and lifted another board only to find about an inch of water but water actually flowing from back to front.

Now I've done a bit of digging and am quite happy it is just surface water due to all the rain and the advice seems to be fit a ground pump however where should I drain it to?

The drain at the front/side of the house is bubbling up as the road out front, which is about 20 metres away, is also flooded so I can't just drain it there.

The pond at the back has filled so much it's overflowed so I'd imagine the ground around it is sodden as well. The rest of the garden goes back another 80 or so metres but all the drains run back to front right from the back of the garden. After that there are nothing but fields. I'm a bit stuck as to where I could drain it to.

Other research has included fitting a concrete floor however surely the same issues would still arise with water flooding in under the concrete floor?

Any experts or advise (apart from pay someone to come in)?

Thanks all.

Thank for all the replies.

As the evening went on it got worse and worse to the point it flooded the house so it wasn't just a case of water not draining properly but rather the rainfall drains not coping with the amount of rain. Neighbours have also been flooded however I do like the idea of possibly a drain away down the garden but that would be around 60 metres from the house as the garden is slightly higher and wasn't affected at all to the rear.

The only things I need to do now are figure out if a pump would pump that far and how far down the clay level is. I think it may be more of a get a professional in though.

Thanks again.
