What driveway drainage and soakaways involve
Driveway drainage collects surface water and takes it to somewhere it can soak away safely, usually with a linear channel drain across the drive and a soakaway crate or rubble pit in the garden. It is needed where a drive is impermeable or slopes towards the house or garage.
Groundwork prices in Ballymena depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Ballymena mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Ballymena we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
