Surface water flooding and persistent waterlogging often point to a drainage problem. At Phil’s Drainage Services, we design and install soakaways for homeowners and businesses across Hartley Wintney. We assess each site individually and recommend the right drainage solution for your needs.
What is a Soakaway?
A soakaway is an underground structure that disperses surface water gradually into the surrounding soil. Rather than sending water into the main drainage system, a soakaway manages it on site. This reduces the risk of flooding and waterlogging around your property.
Several types of soakaway exist, including rubble-filled soakaways and modern plastic crate systems. The right type depends on your soil, the land area draining into the system, and local ground conditions.
Soakaway Installation in Hartley Wintney
We carry out soakaway assessments and installations across Hartley Wintney for domestic and commercial properties. Before installation, we carry out a percolation test to measure how well your soil absorbs water. This ensures we size and position the soakaway correctly for long-term performance.
Our team handles every stage, from initial assessment and design through to installation and testing. We also work efficiently and keep disruption to your garden or grounds to a minimum throughout.
When Do You Need a Soakaway?
You may need a soakaway when surface water drainage falls short around your property. It is also useful when your existing soakaway has failed, or when new building work affects your drainage.
Common signs include persistent puddles after rain, waterlogging in the garden, and damp around your foundations. You may also notice a gradual worsening of drainage over time. Our team can assess your situation and advise on the best course of action.
