Drainage Fields & Soakaways
Drainage Field & Soakaway Installation Across Devon & Cornwall
Drainage fields and soakaways allow wastewater or surface water to disperse safely into the surrounding ground, but the right solution depends heavily on the site, ground conditions and the amount of water being managed.
Drain & Tank Solutions SW designs, installs and replaces drainage fields and soakaways for properties across Devon and Cornwall.
Drainage Field Design
A drainage field is an important part of many private wastewater systems, allowing treated liquid from a septic tank or sewage treatment plant to disperse into the ground.
Designing a drainage field involves considering the size and type of the wastewater system, the number of people using the property, the available land and the ground conditions. The layout, pipework and drainage area must all be suitable for the site to help the system work effectively.
We'll assess the existing system and available land before advising on the most suitable design. Where required, we can also help identify whether a new or replacement drainage field is likely to be suitable.
If an existing drainage field has failed, you may notice wet or waterlogged ground, unpleasant smells or problems with the septic tank or treatment plant itself.
Soakaway Design & Installation
Soakaways are used to manage surface water by allowing it to gradually drain into the surrounding ground.
Before designing or installing a new soakaway, we'll consider the ground conditions, available space, the location of nearby buildings and boundaries, and the amount of water that needs to be managed. This helps determine the appropriate size, position and layout for the system.
A properly designed soakaway can help reduce surface water problems and provide a practical way to manage rainwater from roofs, driveways and other hard surfaces.
