Surface-water soakaways and drainage fields are different

The correct terminology matters when diagnosing off-mains drainage.

A surface-water soakaway receives rainwater runoff. A septic tank drainage field distributes septic tank effluent through a designed infiltration system.

AFS can assess the site and direct the enquiry to soakaway work or drainage-field advice depending on what the system receives.
