What Exactly is a Soakaway and How Can It Help You?

Simply put, a soakaway is a natural drainage system designed to deal with surface water run-off. Instead of water sitting on your land or overwhelming your existing drains, it's directed into an underground pit or chamber. This chamber then allows the water to gradually 'soak away' into the surrounding soil. It's a fantastic solution for managing rainwater from roofs, driveways, and patios, taking the strain off public sewers and preventing waterlogging. Our friendly drainage engineers ensure your new soakaway works perfectly with your property's specific ground conditions, giving you peace of mind and dry surroundings.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our soakaway installation and drainage services in Wigan.

What exactly is a soakaway?

+

A soakaway is a pit filled with gravel or specialist plastic crates buried in the ground. It takes rainwater from your roof or driveway and lets it soak back into the earth slowly. This stops your garden from flooding and keeps excess water out of the main sewer system, which is better for the environment and your home.

How do I know if I need a new soakaway?

+

If you see big puddles on your lawn that won't go away, or if your gutters are overflowing because the water has nowhere to go, your old soakaway might be blocked or collapsed. If you’re building a new extension, the council might require you to install one to manage the extra water.

Does every garden work for a soakaway?

+

Not quite. The soil needs to be "porous," meaning water can travel through it easily. If you have very heavy clay soil, a soakaway might not work. We can perform a "perc test" to see how quickly water drains away before we start any work, making certain the solution fits your garden.

How long does it take to install?

+

Most domestic soakaway jobs are finished in a day or two. We dig the hole, install the crates or stone, connect the pipes, and then tidy everything up. We make sure the ground is reinstated properly so you can get back to enjoying your garden.

Will it stop my garden from flooding?

+

Yes, a well-designed soakaway is one of the best ways to manage surface water. It's a natural solution that keeps your property dry and protects your foundations from water damage. Our expert engineers will make sure it's sized correctly for the amount of water your roof or driveway collects.
