Soakaway Repair and Replacement in Wareham

Many residents in Wareham rely on soakaways to prevent a range of drainage issues, such as waterlogging, standing water and flooding. Soakaways are durable drainage systems that have been specifically designed to divert water away from properties.

With that said, soakaways do sometimes develop faults that require drainage experts to remedy. Faulty or blocked soakaways can lead to severe drainage problems that will only escalate further if left unchecked.

If you would like to understand how soakaways work and how some of the most common faults develop, read on! Here’s a quick explainer for your reference:

A soakaway is a series of holes that are dug into the ground, then covered with turf. Each of the holes are filled with coarse stone and rubble. Tiny pockets within each of these holes that are free from earth and soil allow water to drain away from the soakaway.

Soakaways should be repaired (or replaced altogether) whenever they become blocked or damaged. Soakaway blockages are usually caused by various materials washing into them. Stems and branches can also overgrow and block a soakaway’s path.

Sometimes, soakaway problems can be resolved by using a high-powered pressure washer machine. Unfortunately, blockages can sometimes be too severe for this method to work – and when this is the case, the solution is usually to replace the soakaway outright. Our soakaway engineers in Wareham can excavate a new soakaway (or re-excavate your existing one, after tracing it). This will make sure that water is being safely diverted away from your property, as well as safeguarding the area against flooding.
