About this service

Waterlogged ground is more than just an inconvenience. Standing water rots fence posts, kills lawns, damages driveways, and can eventually find its way into the foundations of your home.

A soakaway is an underground structure that takes surface water away from where you do not want it and lets it disperse safely into the ground. Done properly, with percolation testing first and the right size and depth, it solves the problem for the life of the property.

We design and install soakaways, French drains, perimeter drainage and full land drain schemes across Yorkshire, for domestic gardens, driveways, paddocks and commercial sites. Every job is sized correctly, built to last, and the surface put back better than we found it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need a soakaway?
If you have standing water in your garden after rain, a driveway that does not drain, downpipes that discharge straight onto a patio, or a waterlogged lawn, a soakaway is very likely the answer. Give us a call and we will come and take a look.

"Called DMI out of hours for a badly blocked drain and they were brilliant. Quick to arrive, sorted the problem in no time, and the price was very fair and very reasonable for an emergency call-out. Could not recommend them more."
