A soakaway allows for excess or waste water to be effectively disposed of from an area on both residential and commercial properties. This is a great solution which ensures your property is kept free from overflowing water, allowing this to be removed safely away from your property’s foundations. 

LDS have many years of experience in advising customers on the design, installation and maintenance of a soakaway system for both residential and commercial buildings. 

Our experts can guide you on the process from the initial survey to the final installation, allowing you to have a cost-effective solution to your problem. 

If you already have one of these systems installed, you might also find that yours is in need of some maintenance. 

Common Soakaway Problems

If you’re experiencing dips in the ground or waterlogging near the area of your soakaway, your system could have become blocked. In some cases, this could lead to an overflow, however, a blocked soakaway can happen due to a number of reasons depending on your system.

We Can Help If You’re Experiencing: 

• Collapsed pipes – this can be caused by weight on the soakaway leading to pipe damage
• Root damage – surrounding trees and bushes can enter the soakaway and damage the system
• Silt build-up – silt can find its way into the system and cause this to become blocked
• Blockage due to non-flushable items entering the system
• Damage to dip pipes which feed the wastewater into the soakaway
• Overloading the soakaway due to surface water entering it 

LDS can easily repair and manage your soakaway system if you’re experiencing any of these issues.
