FAQs About Soakaways

A soakaway is an underground pit filled with permeable materials that absorb rainwater allowing it to gradually absorb into the earth. 

If you experience water pooling in your garden, driveway, or patio after heavy rain, a soakaway may be the perfect solution. Leaving pooling or flooding can cause issues further down the line with your landscape or build structure if water is settling around building foundations.

With proper maintenance, a soakaway can last for 20+ years.
