Soakaways are highly resilient drainage systems designed to divert excess water away from your property. They can be extremely useful in preventing waterlogging, standing water and flooding.

In simple terms, a soakaway is a series of holes dug into the ground and then covered with turf. Each hole is filled with coarse stones and rubble. The tiny pockets within the holes free from soil and earth allow water to flow into the soil.

However, soakaways are occasionally prone to blockages or may lose their effectiveness due to long-term wear and damage.

Blockages are frequently caused by leaves, silt and other garden waste washing into the soakaway. In many cases, we are able to clear the blockage by using a pressure washer to remove the buildup. However, if the blockage is too severe, or there are further underlying issues, the best course of action may be to replace your soakaway outright.

Our engineers can excavate a new soakaway (or the existing one, after tracing it) – before installing a brand new soakaway system at your property.

If you’re having trouble with your soakaway system, we are here to help. Get in touch today to find out how our drainage engineers can assist you.
