Effective Surface Water Management for Your Property

A soakaway system is essentially an underground structure designed to collect surface water and allow it to gradually filter into the surrounding soil. This is crucial for properties not connected to a public surface water sewer or those experiencing issues with excess rainwater. Without proper surface water drainage, your garden can become saturated, leading to boggy patches, or worse, water can build up around your home, potentially damaging foundations or causing damp issues indoors. Our expertise covers everything from traditional rubble-filled soakaways to modern crate systems, all designed to ensure effective wastewater treatment and prevent future problems, keeping your property dry and protected.

Recognising the Need for a New Soakaway System

How do you know if you need a soakaway installed or an existing one upgraded? Common signs include persistent puddles in your garden long after rain, overflowing gutters that cause water to pool around your house, or even a build-up of standing water in driveways or patios. If your existing drainage struggles to cope, or if you're undertaking a new build or extension in areas like Crediton, Exeter, or Torquay, a new soakaway installation might be a requirement under building regulations. We can assess your current situation, including conducting vital soakaway percolation tests, to determine the most appropriate solution, whether it's a new foul and surface water drainage system or an upgrade to an existing setup.

Our Tailored Approach to Soakaway Installation

When you choose Drain 2 Flow Devon for your soakaway project, you’re opting for a meticulous and professional service. Our process begins with a thorough site visit to assess your property's specific needs, soil type, and existing drainage. We then conduct essential percolation tests to determine the soil's absorption rate, which is critical for designing an effective system. We’ll design a soakaway that fully complies with all relevant building regulations and local authority requirements. From precise excavation to the careful installation of soakaway crates or the creation of a traditional system, our team ensures every step is completed to the highest standard, delivering a durable and long-lasting solution that works for you. We also handle the installation of associated drainage like French drains or channel drainage where necessary.

How does Drain 2 Flow Devon ensure a soakaway is correctly sized and sited?

+

Our expert team begins every soakaway project with thorough ground investigation, including essential percolation tests. These tests accurately measure how quickly your soil absorbs water. Combining this data with calculations based on your property's roof area or hardstanding surface, our trained engineers design a soakaway system that's perfectly sized for your specific needs, preventing future issues. We pride ourselves on getting the job right from the start.

What kind of maintenance does a soakaway need?

+

Generally, a well-installed soakaway requires minimal maintenance. However, it's a good idea to ensure downpipes are clear of debris and that the area around the soakaway isn't prone to silt build-up. Regular checks during heavy rainfall can help you spot any potential problems early. If you notice signs of waterlogging or slow drainage, our team can provide a comprehensive drain survey to identify and address any issues.

Can Drain 2 Flow Devon repair existing soakaways?

+

Absolutely. Many older soakaways can become blocked by silt, root ingress, or even structural damage. Our experienced engineers can often diagnose the problem using CCTV drain surveys. Depending on the issue, we can carry out repairs, including jetting to clear blockages or localised structural repairs, to restore your existing soakaway's function without necessarily needing a full replacement. We aim to provide the most efficient and cost-effective solution for your drainage issues.

How long does soakaway installation typically take?

+

The timeframe for a soakaway installation can vary depending on the size of the system, ground conditions, and accessibility of the site. A straightforward domestic soakaway might be completed within a day or two, while more complex or larger commercial projects could take longer. We'll provide a clear timeframe and work schedule once we've assessed your specific requirements, keeping disruption to your property minimal.
