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.
Before quoting groundworks in Uckfield we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Uckfield, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across East Sussex, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
