About Soakaways
Building regulations require property owners to adequately dispose of stormwater from their buildings and prevent flooding.
To ensure water is dispersed into the ground evenly and quickly, you should consider the use of a soakaway since discharging stormwater into a drain will only be permitted if soakaways or other infiltration methods are not suitable.
Soakaways store the immediate stormwater run-off to allow infiltration into the soil. To be effective however, it’s important that soakaways are properly installed.
Some septic tank systems disperse clean water to a soakaway also.
A1 UK Drains of Wokingham, offer a fast, efficient and reliable soakaway installation service throughout Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Surrey and London.
We can install both crate system soakaways and clean hardcore filled soakaways.
All our work is fully guaranteed and we are Checkatrade and ConstructionLine accredited.
Examples of our soakaway installations
Soakaway installation in Newbury
The gallery below details works recently carried out at a residential property in Newbury due to a failed soakaway and pipework caused by root intrusion.
A 5 metre trench was excavated by the excavator from the existing drainpipe to the location of the new soakaway. The soakaway pit was excavated to 2 cubic metres.
New lengths of 110mm PVC pipework were connected and joined to the existing drainage system, running into the soakaway. The soakaway pit was then filled with clean hardcore and a membrane layer installed above.
For additional surface water drainage a gulley was installed above the soakaway.
When fully installed all pipework was surrounded in 10mm gravel.
The trench and soakaway pit were then back-filled and compacted, a layer of concrete added and the tarmac area reinstated.
The area worked was then left clean and tidy with all rubbish removed from site.
Soakaway installation in Yateley
The gallery below details works recently carried out at a pre-school in Yately after a series of blockages due to a failed soakaway.
The area of the works was fenced off on arrival and the mini-excavator positioned on site.
An 8 metre trench was excavated by the excavator from the point of connection to the existing pipework to the location of the new soakaway. The soakaway pit was excavated to approximately 2 cubic metres.
New lengths of 110mm PVC pipework were connected and joined to the existing drainage system, running into the soakaway. The soakaway pit was then filled with clean hardcore.
12 metres of perforated bleed pipe was then installed (2x 6 metres).
When fully installed all pipework was surrounded in 10mm gravel.
The trenches and manhole were then back-filled and compacted, a layer of top soil added and all grass areas re-laid with the original turf that had been carefully removed at the start of the works.
The area worked was then left clean and tidy with all rubbish removed from site.
