Soakaway Installation Blackpool
Professional surface water drainage and soakaway design to protect your property—claim your first order discount today.
Poor surface water management is a leading cause of structural damp and foundation issues across the Fylde Coast. In Blackpool, where coastal storms and heavy rainfall are frequent, a standard rubble pit is often insufficient. At Drainage Experts, we design and install high-capacity soakaway systems that effectively manage runoff and keep your property bone-dry.
Modern Engineering for Surface Water
We have moved beyond traditional gravel pits to provide engineered solutions that meet modern standards. Whether you are installing a new driveway or extending your home, we provide:
- Crate Soakaway Systems: We use modular, high-strength crates that offer superior void space compared to traditional methods, allowing for massive water storage during heavy Blackpool downpours.
- Percolation Testing: Before installation, we conduct soil tests to ensure the ground in areas like Marton or Layton can effectively absorb the water.
- Building Regulation Compliance: All our installations are designed in accordance with Approved Document H, ensuring your project passes local authority inspections.
- Driveway Drainage Integration: We seamlessly connect your land drainage and guttering systems into a central soakaway to prevent pooling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Soakaway Installation in Blackpool
A soakaway is an underground drainage system designed to safely disperse surface water into the surrounding ground. It helps prevent flooding, pooling water, and pressure on mains drainage systems.
You may need a soakaway if your garden, driveway, or property suffers from surface water flooding, poor drainage, or water run-off that cannot be connected to the main sewer.
Common issues include clay-heavy soil, high groundwater levels, silt build-up, and older or undersized soakaways that no longer cope with modern rainfall levels on the Fylde Coast.
