What Is a Soakaway?

A soakaway is an underground drainage system designed to collect and disperse surface water safely back into the ground. Soakaways prevent water from accumulating on your property, helping to:

Avoid flooding and water damage

Reduce pressure on your existing drainage system

Improve lawn and landscape health

  • Comply with local building regulations

Surface water drainage problems can lead to costly damage if left untreated. At AFS Drainage, we assess your site to create efficient systems that control excess rainwater, including:

  • Soakaway pits

  • Permeable paving

  • French drains

  • Rainwater harvesting integration

We install systems that are built to last, using high-quality materials and industry-approved methods.
