Hampshire’s varied geology — from chalk and greensand in Winchester and Petersfield to dense clay in Basingstoke, Andover and Eastleigh — makes professional soakaway design essential. A well-engineered soakaway prevents garden flooding, manages roof runoff, protects foundations and stops standing water from causing long-term damp issues. Our team uses soil profiling, infiltration testing and CCTV diagnostics to build systems tailored to Hampshire’s complex ground conditions.
We install crate soakaways, rubble systems, French drains, linear channels and full surface-water drainage networks. For failed soakaways, we carry out CCTV inspections, flow testing and soil analysis before designing and installing a reliable replacement. All systems are built to high-performance specifications using geo-textiles, permeable stone and industry-approved methods.
Across Hampshire, soakaway failures are commonly caused by clay-rich soil pockets, high groundwater levels, inadequate pipework and ageing drainage systems. The most common issues we resolve include:
Every Hampshire soakaway installation includes infiltration testing, soil profiling and full documentation to ensure long-term performance.
