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 Cannock depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Cannock has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Across Staffordshire, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.
