SOAKAWAY DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS
Professional Installation and Repair: Restore Drainage Performance with Expert Soakaway Services Across Domestic and Commercial Properties.
WHAT IS A SOAKAWAY?
A soakaway is a simple yet highly effective drainage solution designed to manage excess surface water by allowing it to naturally percolate into the ground. Typically consisting of a gravel-filled pit, crate system, or perforated pipes, a soakaway helps prevent waterlogging, flooding, and damage to property foundations.
Types of Soakaway Systems:
• Rainwater Soakaway: Collects runoff from rooftops and gutters.
• Garden Soakaway: Manages stormwater in lawns or landscaped areas.
• Driveway or Patio Soakaway: Prevents surface pooling in hardstanding areas.
• Pipe Soakaway: Extends underground drainage networks, redirecting water away from structures.
SIGNS OF A BLOCKED SOAKAWAY...
- Surface water pooling or flooding near drains.
- Slow-draining gullies or downpipes.
- Bad odours or damp patches in gardens.
- Overflowing gutters during rainfall.
- Water backing up into pipes or chambers.
