Soakaway Installation in West Sussex
A soakaway can take rainwater from roofs, patios or garden drains into the ground. We can excavate the pit, install the soakaway and connect it to your surface-water drainage where site conditions allow.
What the work involves
01
Check the site
We look at where the water comes from, available space, access for the digger and whether the ground can take a soakaway. High groundwater or poor infiltration may call for another solution.
02
Excavate and install
The pit is excavated for the agreed design, with a geotextile-wrapped crate system or suitable clean aggregate, according to the site and specification.
03
Connect and make good
We connect the surface-water pipework with appropriate falls, backfill and agree what needs reinstating before work starts.

- Do you have photos of the flooded area and an idea of the space available?
- Is there access for a micro or mini digger?
- Are there plans, a drainage specification or known underground services?
