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 Portadown depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Portadown have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Portadown include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
