Soakaway Installation in Petersfield by Alton Facility Services

Expert Soakaway Installation in Petersfield

Petersfield sits between the chalk downs of the South Downs National Park and areas of clay and greensand soil, creating complex drainage challenges. Properties in Sheet, Steep and South Harting often experience rapid infiltration due to chalk substrates, while Buriton, Stroud and parts of Liss suffer from slower drainage due to clay-heavy soils. Our soakaway systems are engineered to match these unique local conditions, ensuring reliable long-term stormwater control.

We install crate soakaways, traditional rubble soakaways, French drains, linear channels and full stormwater drainage networks. If your existing soakaway has failed — a common issue in older Petersfield properties — we carry out CCTV inspections, infiltration testing and pipe diagnostics before designing a modern replacement system.

Why Soakaways Are Essential for Petersfield Properties

Across Petersfield, soakaway problems typically arise from clay bands, outdated drainage systems, rising rainfall intensity and ground saturation. Common issues we regularly fix include:

  • Waterlogged gardens and lawns after rainfall
  • Failed or saturated soakaway crate systems
  • Poor infiltration due to clay-based soil pockets
  • Driveway, patio or pathway flooding
  • Standing water near external walls and foundations

All soakaway installations include infiltration testing, ground assessment, capacity calculations and full documentation tailored to Petersfield’s drainage conditions.

Our Petersfield Soakaway Installation Process

Our installation process ensures every Petersfield soakaway is properly engineered for long-term drainage efficiency:

  1. Local Soil Survey & Infiltration Testing: Undersized or poorly installed soakaways
  2. Choosing the Right System for Petersfield Ground: Blocked or collapsed feed pipes to the soakaway
  3. Excavation, Base Preparation & Geo-textile Layering: Silted or completely filled soakaway chambers
  4. Installing Crates, Chambers or Rubble Soakaways: Stormwater overwhelming older, historic systems
  5. Connecting Roof & Surface Water Drainage: Ground movement affecting drainage flow
  6. Backfilling, Compaction & Ground Reinstatement: Tree root intrusion in rural and semi-rural areas
  7. Final Testing, Capacity Checks & Documentation: Runoff from farmland or rural slopes causing pooling

Every installation includes full documentation, system capacity figures and maintenance guidance tailored to Petersfield’s land profile.
