Basingstoke’s ground conditions vary heavily between chalk-based soil and clay-dense pockets, which means many properties experience standing water or ineffective drainage. A properly engineered soakaway manages excess rainwater, prevents garden flooding and reduces damp risks to buildings. We design all systems specifically for Basingstoke’s local infiltration performance, runoff volumes and changing rainfall behaviour.
Our solutions include crate soakaways, rubble soakaways, French drains, linear drainage systems and complete stormwater networks. If an older soakaway has failed, we inspect the feed pipes using CCTV, assess the ground layer structure and carry out infiltration tests before recommending replacement or upgrade options.
In Basingstoke, soakaway problems commonly arise due to clay-heavy zones, high water tables in certain areas and historic drainage systems reaching the end of their lifespan. The most frequent issues we resolve include:
Every installation includes a full assessment, infiltration test results and professional recommendations for long-term drainage health.
