What is a Soakaway?

A soakaway is a specially designed underground drainage system that collects and disperses excess water away from buildings, driveways, and landscapes. It consists of a pit filled with permeable materials (such as gravel or soakaway crates) that gradually absorbs and disperses water into the surrounding soil, preventing flooding and water pooling.

Benefits of a Soakaway System

Prevents Flooding – Efficiently drains rainwater from driveways, gardens, and patios.
Reduces Waterlogging – Improves soil drainage and prevents saturated lawns.
Protects Property Foundations – Prevents water buildup that can cause structural damage.
Eco-Friendly Solution – Naturally disperses rainwater, reducing strain on local drainage systems.
Complies with Building Regulations – Meets Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) requirements.
