What is a Soakaway Drainage System and How Does it Work?

A soakaway drainage system is a simple, yet effective solution to manage rainwater and prevent flooding in your garden or yard. Essentially, it's a hole or pit filled with rubble or aggregate that allows rainwater to soak into the ground, reducing the risk of surface water flooding. At Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle, we understand the importance of a well-designed soakaway system, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall like South Tyneside.

How Does a Soakaway Drainage System Help with Flooding?

When it rains, the water flows into the soakaway pit, which is typically located in a low-lying area of your garden. The rubble or aggregate inside the pit allows the water to percolate through, slowly releasing it into the surrounding soil. This process helps to reduce the amount of surface water, minimizing the risk of flooding and erosion. Our team at Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle can design and install a soakaway system that meets your specific needs, taking into account factors like soil type, rainfall intensity, and drainage requirements.

What are the Benefits of a Soakaway Drainage System?

A well-designed soakaway system offers several benefits, including:

  • Reduced risk of flooding and erosion
  • Lower risk of water damage to your property
  • Improved drainage and reduced standing water
  • Enhanced garden or yard aesthetics
  • Compliance with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations
    At Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle, we can help you design and install a soakaway system that meets your specific needs and budget.
