Most Soakaways Fail Silently For Years
A soakaway is supposed to take rainwater from your gutters and drives, then let it slowly soak into the surrounding ground. When it blocks (silt, roots, collapse), the water has nowhere to go — and it backs up into your garden, driveway or worse, your foundations.
Half the soakaway problems we see in Houghton le Spring are with soakaways nobody knew existed — or where they were buried. We locate them with sonar and dye tests, dig down, diagnose what’s failed, and quote a proper repair or rebuild.

What Houghton le Spring Customers Say About Our Soakaway Work
Lawrence H. — Houghton le Spring
"Garden flooded for years. Three contractors had told us it was 'just clay soil.' Drainage Houghton le Spring found a collapsed soakaway, rebuilt it, problem completely solved."

"Couldn't find our soakaway anywhere. They located it under the lawn with sonar, tested it (silted solid), cleaned it out. Working again."
Theodore J. — Houghton le Spring
"Driveway soakaway too small for the new extension's roof drainage. They sized and installed a properly engineered new one. Drains everything we throw at it."
