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 Wednesfield we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Wednesfield have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Wednesfield include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Wednesfield
Surface water from a drive should stay on your property or go to a suitable soakaway or surface water drain. It should not run onto the road or be connected to a foul sewer. Soakaways are sited away from buildings.

Weather and working days
The West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Wednesfield jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
