Drain Soakaway Installation & Repairs
Effective Flood Prevention and Water Management
Drain soakaways are an effective solution for managing excess surface water, helping to prevent flooding and waterlogging around your property. At Wessex Drainage Ltd, we design and install soakaway systems that allow water to drain naturally into the ground, reducing pressure on your main drainage system. Whether you need a new soakaway or repairs to an existing one, our team can assess your site, recommend the best approach, and carry out the work to a high standard, ensuring long-term reliability and compliance with current regulations.


What is a Drain Soakaway and Why Does Your Property Need One?
A drain soakaway is an underground system designed to manage excess surface water by allowing it to soak into the ground, rather than pooling around your home or commercial property. It’s typically used for handling rainwater runoff from gutters, driveways, and other areas where water collects. Soakaways are an essential part of any drainage system, particularly in areas prone to heavy rainfall or flooding.
If your property lacks proper drainage, rainwater can build up and cause issues like waterlogging, flooding, and even damage to your foundations. Installing a drain soakaway helps prevent these problems by directing water away from your property and allowing it to filter safely back into the ground. This not only protects your home but also helps manage local water levels, reducing the risk of surface water flooding in your area.
At Wessex Drainage, we specialise in designing and installing effective drain soakaways for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to protect your property or a business owner managing larger water runoff areas, we can create a custom solution that meets your specific needs. We’ll ensure that your soakaway is correctly sized and positioned to work efficiently, providing long-lasting protection for your property and peace of mind during heavy rain.
