Soakaway Installation & Maintenance

Building regulations require property owners to adequately dispose of stormwater from their buildings and prevent flooding. If you have noticed rainwater is not dispersing as efficiently as in the past, pooling and leaking out of pipes and gutters, this could be a sign that your existing soakaway has failed, and it may be time for a new one. It could just be that there is a blockage in the line such as debris from your gutters entering the pipework. A combination of high pressure jetting and CCTV camera surveying the line can reveal whether there is a blockage in the line or that the soakaway has failed. To improve rainwater drainage, or if your are planning an extension, 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. If you think you simply have a blocked soakaway and simply require clearance of a blockage we can get that sorted at for you also.
