Soakaway Installation in Surrey by Alton Facility Services

Expert Soakaway Installation in Surrey

Surrey’s geology is one of the most varied in the South East. The county includes chalk downs (Guildford, Dorking, Caterham), fast-draining sandy soils (Camberley, Lightwater, Bagshot), clay-heavy areas (Woking, Epsom, Horley) and mixed greensand belts (Haslemere, Godalming). These variations make soakaway performance highly dependent on correct design and soil assessment. We tailor every system to the property, ensuring long-term stormwater control and preventing repeat flooding issues.

We install crate soakaways, rubble soakaways, linear drainage channels, French drains, attenuation tanks and full surface-water networks. For failed systems, our engineers carry out CCTV inspections, infiltration testing, pipe tracing and ground diagnostics to identify the root cause before designing a suitable replacement system.

Why Soakaways Are Essential Across Surrey

Soakaway problems across Surrey often develop due to clay-heavy soil layers, undersized soakaway pits, old drainage systems, blocked feed pipes or increasingly heavy rainfall. We regularly fix issues such as:

  • Waterlogged gardens and persistent surface flooding
  • Failed, collapsed or saturated crate systems
  • Poor infiltration due to London Clay regions
  • Driveway, patio or garage flooding after rainfall
  • Standing water near walls or building foundations

Every soakaway installation includes infiltration tests, capacity calculations and full documentation tailored to Surrey’s specific ground conditions.

Our Surrey Soakaway Installation Process

Our structured soakaway installation process ensures every Surrey system is engineered for long-term flood prevention and efficient stormwater management:

  1. Local Soil Survey & Infiltration Testing: Incorrectly installed or undersized soakaways
  2. Selecting the Correct System for Surrey Ground: Blocked, crushed or root-damaged inlet pipes
  3. Excavation, Base Preparation & Geo-Textile Installation: Silted or fully saturated soakaway chambers
  4. Installing Crates, Chambers or Rubble Systems: Stormwater overwhelming historic or aged systems
  5. Connecting Roof & Surface Water Drainage: Ground movement or subsidence affecting drainage flow
  6. Backfilling, Compaction & Final Reinstatement: Tree root damage in rural or wooded Surrey areas
  7. Performance Testing, Capacity Checks & Documentation: Runoff from sloped or clay-backed land causing pooling

Every system includes full documentation, drainage capacity figures and maintenance guidelines tailored to Surrey’s soil behaviour.
