DRAINAGE AND SOAKAWAY SERVICES FOR DRIVEWAYS & PATIOS

Effective drainage and soakaway systems are of paramount importance for any paving project. Often going overlooked, improper drainage can give rise to a number of problems which can not only lead to the discolouration and excess wear of the paved surface, but go as far as to wash out and destabilise base materials, rendering it unsafe to use. In the worst case, it can lead to similar damage to the foundation of the house itself.
Given the destructive potential of unrestrained surface water, we take drainage very seriously and examine it on a case by case basis. With the technical expertise accumulated over 20 years’ experience, you can rest assured that the correct assessment will be taken and adequate drainage and soakaways for your project will be installed.
