Medway's Soakaways Experts
Working across Kent, including Medway, we utilise soakaways to improve water drainage to waterlogged soil and help remove surface water and the damage to building foundations that brings.
Essentially, a soakaway is a hole in the ground that creates a void for surface water to flow into, with a large surface area that encourages and accelerates the water disperal back into the soil and water table.
Perfect for low lying properties across Medway and Kent that suffer from waterlogged earth or minor flooding after heavy rainfall, our soakaways are also able to be utilised in and around all kinds of commercial and domestic properties to generally improve the drainage of a specific location.

At South East Drainage, we specialise in providing Medway clients with a comprehensive soakaway installation service, with our engineers and installers working on projects from large building development sites to small private domestic dwellings. Provided to a variety of different Medway clients, our full range of soakaway services includes:
