When it comes to effective drainage, a soakaway is one of the most practical and eco-friendly solutions available. At Kingston Upon Thames Drains24, we design and install soakaway systems that manage excess rainwater, reduce flooding risks, and protect your property from long-term water damage.

🏡 What Is a Soakaway?

A soakaway is a simple yet efficient drainage system designed to collect and disperse surface water into the surrounding soil. It’s typically a large underground pit filled with rubble, gravel, or modular soakaway crates that allow rainwater to slowly filter back into the ground.

By installing a soakaway, you can:

  • Prevent water pooling around buildings and gardens
  • Reduce pressure on public drainage systems
  • Minimise flood risks during heavy rainfall

📜 Rainwater Soakaway Rules

In the UK, rainwater soakaway rules are in place to ensure systems are safe, effective, and environmentally friendly:

  • Discharge of clean rainwater only – foul water must be kept separate.
  • Minimum distance from buildings – usually at least 5 metres away from property foundations.
  • Soil infiltration tests – percolation testing ensures the ground is suitable.
  • No contamination risks – soakaways must not discharge into groundwater near wells or drinking supplies.

Our team at Drains24 follows Building Regulations Part H and all local authority guidelines to ensure your soakaway is fully compliant.

🔍 Why You Might Need a Soakaway

Common reasons include:

  • Frequent surface water pooling after rain
  • Garden waterlogging
  • Driveway or patio flooding
