Soakaway Installation in Hampshire by Alton Facility Services

Expert Soakaway Installation in Hampshire

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.

Why Soakaways Are Essential Across Hampshire

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:

  • Waterlogged gardens and persistent surface flooding
  • Failed or saturated soakaway crate systems
  • Poor infiltration due to clay-heavy ground
  • Driveway or patio flooding after rainfall
  • Standing water around external walls and foundations

Every Hampshire soakaway installation includes infiltration testing, soil profiling and full documentation to ensure long-term performance.

Our Hampshire Soakaway Installation Process

Our structured installation process ensures every Hampshire soakaway is designed and built for long-term drainage performance:

  1. Soil Survey & Ground Infiltration Testing: Incorrectly sized or poorly installed systems
  2. Selecting the Correct System for Hampshire Ground: Blocked or collapsed feed pipes leading to the soakaway
  3. Excavation, Base Preparation & Geo-Textile Fitting: Silted, filled or collapsed soakaway chambers
  4. Installing Crates, Chambers or Rubble Systems: Stormwater exceeding outdated drainage capacity
  5. Connecting Roof & Surface Water Drainage: Ground movement affecting drainage flow
  6. Backfilling, Compaction & Reinstatement: Tree root damage in older drainage systems
  7. Final Testing & Drainage System Documentation: Rural property runoff with unmanaged drainage routes

All systems include full documentation, capacity calculations and Hampshire-specific maintenance recommendations.
