Expert Soakaway Installation
Serving Exeter, Clyst Heath & Surrounding Devon

Every successful soakaway job begins with a thorough assessment. We never rely on guesswork. First, we conduct professional soakaway percolation tests to measure how quickly water drains through your soil. This is a critical step, especially with the heavy clay soils often found around Exeter.Based on the results, we calculate the exact size and depth needed for your system. We then carefully excavate the area and install modern, high-capacity soakaway crates, which are far more efficient than traditional rubble-filled pits. Finally, we connect your surface water drainage pipes and restore your garden or driveway to its original condition.

Effective water management is crucial for any home or business. Without a functioning soakaway, heavy rainwater can overwhelm your drains, leading to surface flooding, damaged landscaping, and even structural subsidence over the years.By upgrading to eco-friendly drainage systems, you actively and safely disperse rainwater back into the earth, replenishing the natural water table while keeping your property dry. A high-quality soakaway also relieves pressure on the main sewer network, which can prevent costly blockages and unpleasant backups in your toilets and external drains. Regular drain maintenance ensures these systems perform perfectly for years.

Installing a soakaway is not just about digging a hole; it requires strict adherence to UK Building Regulations and Environment Agency general binding rules. As experienced local engineers, we ensure your new soakaway is located at least five metres from your building's foundations and boundary lines, keeping you fully compliant.Whether you are connecting downpipes or integrating the soakaway with a septic tank installation or wastewater treatment plants, our team handles all the necessary calculations and percolation tests.
