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.
In Cumbernauld, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Many homes in Cumbernauld have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Cumbernauld include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
