Soakaway Installation in Farnham by Alton Facility Services

Specialist Soakaway Installation in Farnham

Farnham’s topography and soil composition vary significantly between locations, with sandy soils in areas like Heath End and more clay-dense ground around Wrecclesham and Rowledge. This can lead to standing water, garden flooding and ineffective surface drainage. We engineer soakaways based on accurate infiltration testing, ground layer structure and the property’s stormwater output.

Our systems include soakaway crates, rubble soakaways, French drains, drainage channels and complete surface water management networks. If your existing soakaway has failed — common in older Farnham properties — we use CCTV, soil testing and ground assessment to diagnose the problem before designing a long-term replacement.

Why Soakaways Are Essential for Farnham Properties

Soakaway issues in Farnham are often linked to clay-heavy soil pockets, outdated systems, rising rainfall volumes and local ground saturation. Common problems we fix include:

  • Waterlogged gardens and lawns after rainfall
  • Failed or saturated soakaway crate systems
  • Poor infiltration due to clay-rich ground
  • Driveway or patio flooding
  • Standing water around the property foundation

Every system we install includes infiltration testing, full reporting and professional recommendations tailored to Farnham’s ground behaviour.

Our Farnham Soakaway Installation Process

Our structured installation process ensures your Farnham soakaway is designed for long-term reliability and maximum infiltration efficiency:

  1. Local Soil Survey & Infiltration Testing: Incorrectly sized or poorly installed soakaways
  2. Choosing the Best System for Farnham Ground: Blocked or collapsed feed pipes
  3. Excavation, Base Preparation & Geo-textile Fitting: Silted or fully saturated soakaway chambers
  4. Installing Crates, Chambers or Rubble Soakaways: Stormwater volume overwhelming older systems
  5. Connecting Roof Drainage & Surface Water Inputs: Uneven ground movement affecting drainage
  6. Backfilling, Compaction & Site Reinstatement: Tree root intrusion into drainage channels
  7. Final Testing, Flow Checks & Drainage Report: Rural properties with unmanaged runoff issues

All systems include full documentation, capacity details and Farnham-specific maintenance recommendations.
