Assessing the right solution
Before recommending a soakaway, the drainage arrangement and site conditions should be assessed. Ground suitability, nearby structures, boundaries and existing services can affect where a soakaway can be installed.
Testing, drainage design or permission may be required depending on the proposed work and site conditions. We will explain any additional requirements identified during the assessment.
Signs of a failing soakaway
Possible signs include standing water, overflowing surface-water drains, waterlogged ground or drainage that becomes slow during rainfall. An inspection can help determine whether cleaning, repair or replacement is appropriate.
