Expert Soakaway Installation In Exeter, Devon

A soakaway is a vital part of a sustainable drainage system, designed to collect surface water from roofs, driveways, and other impermeable surfaces, allowing it to slowly disperse back into the ground. For many properties in Exeter, especially those in more rural spots or new build developments not connected to a main surface water sewer, a functioning soakaway is absolutely essential. Without one, you risk waterlogging your garden, damaging foundations, or even causing issues with your foul drainage system. As your local drainage expert, I'll assess your specific situation, whether you’re in a period property in Heavitree or a new home in Cranbrook, to make sure we recommend the right solution for your unique needs. We’ve got years of experience dealing with all types of ground, from the clay soils around Broadclyst to the looser ground near the Exe estuary.

Installing a soakaway isn't just about digging a hole; it requires careful planning, adherence to building regulations, and a deep understanding of ground conditions. When you contact Drain 2 Flow Exeter, our comprehensive service starts with a thorough site survey. This always includes a percolation test to accurately measure how quickly your soil absorbs water, which is crucial for sizing your soakaway correctly.

We ensure all work complies with the latest building regulations and environmental guidelines, providing you with a reliable and long-lasting surface water drainage solution. Our aim is to deliver a seamless installation with minimal disruption to your home or business.
