Get Improved Drainage with Soakaways

Whether it is your garden or paved area, we install soakaways in Newquay to reduce the risk of flooding near sewer drainage. We ensure excess surface water drains into the ground, reducing pressure on your sewer network. 

During installation, we dig holes and fill the location using crates and rubble. We guarantee that the water drains through these materials into the surrounding soil. Planning permission is required for the soakaway installation, depending on the location and size. We will inform you about the permission requirement and include it in the new quote.

FAQs

How Far Should Soakaways Be From Your Home?

Based on the UK Building Regulations, soakaways in Newquay need to be at least 5 metres away from the road and building. In addition, they must be 2.5 metres from the home boundary. This prevents the water from damaging the foundation. It is best to place it close to the septic tank or private well.

A soakaway is a drainage solution designed to collect and disperse surface water into the surrounding ground. It helps manage rainwater from roofs, driveways, and paved areas by allowing water to naturally drain away and reduce flooding risks.
