Frequently Asked Questions
How does a soakaway installation improve drainage on my property?
A soakaway installation diverts surface water into a specially constructed underground pit where it gradually filters into the surrounding soil. This reduces the risk of water pooling or flooding around your property, helping keep your land drier and more manageable during heavy rainfall. We ensure each soakaway is designed to suit your specific ground conditions for optimal results.
What factors determine the suitability of a soakaway for my site?
The suitability of a soakaway depends on soil type, ground permeability, and site topography. At Duchy Landscapes & Construction, we carry out a thorough site assessment to measure these factors before recommending a soakaway system. This ensures the installation will effectively manage water without causing issues such as ground saturation or surface flooding.
How long does a soakaway installation typically take?
The installation timeframe varies based on site size and complexity but generally takes between one and three days. Our team at Duchy Landscapes & Construction aims to complete the work efficiently while maintaining high standards, minimising disruption to your daily routine.
