Why Your Totton Property Needs a Working Soakaway
In this part of the world, the water table can be surprisingly high, especially during the winter months. Without a proper system to manage surface water, that rain has nowhere to go. This leads to hydrostatic pressure building up against your walls, which can cause damp, or even worse, structural issues with your foundations. A soakaway acts as a hidden reservoir, collecting rainwater from your roof and driveway and slowly releasing it back into the ground at a rate the soil can actually handle.Most homeowners we speak to in the New Forest are worried about garden disruption. We get it. That's why we focus on modern, efficient installations that minimize the mess while providing future-proof drainage. It's not just about getting rid of a puddle; it's about protecting the value of your home.

Who We Are
The Importance of Percolation Testing Before Installation
You wouldn't build a house without checking the foundations, and you shouldn't install a soakaway without a Percolation Test. This is a mandatory 24-hour filtration test that tells us exactly how fast the ground around your property can absorb water. Because Totton has a mix of sandy patches and heavy clay, what works for your neighbour might not work for you.Our team carries out rigorous site assessments to determine the soil's absorption rate. If the ground fails the test, we won't just forge ahead with a system destined to fail. Instead, we'll look at alternative surface water management options, such as attenuation tanks or specific drainage diversions, ensuring you don't waste money on a system that leaves you back at square one during the next storm.

Modern Solutions: Soakaway Crates and Silt Traps
Gone are the days of simply filling a hole with rubble and hoping for the best. At Drainage South Ltd, we use soakaway crates (also known as attenuation cells). These are modular, high-strength plastic units that provide significantly more storage capacity than traditional methods. They are wrapped in a geotextile membrane to allow water through while keeping soil out, ensuring the system stays clear for decades.We also highly recommend the installation of silt traps. These clever units catch debris and sediment before they ever reach your soakaway. Think of it like a filter for your drainage system; it's much easier to clean out a small trap once a year than it is to dig up a clogged soakaway. We're all about making maintenance as simple as possible for you.

01202 125163Full Compliance with Part H Building Regulations
Installing a new drainage system isn't just about digging a hole; it's a legal requirement to meet Part H Building Regulations. This governs everything from how far the soakaway must be from your house (usually at least 5 metres) to how it handles extreme weather events. If you're planning a new build or a significant extension in the New Forest area, you'll need a compliant system to pass your building inspections.We handle the technical side of things so you don't have to. Our installations are designed to be fully compliant with BCP and Hampshire county standards, providing you with the necessary peace of mind that your drainage is up to code and environmentally responsible, especially near sensitive areas like the New Forest National Park.
