Concrete Soakwells

Concrete soakwells have long been hailed for their traditional strength and durability, earning them the reputation as the gold standard in stormwater management. They are specifically designed to accommodate larger volumes of water, draining at a slower rate. This characteristic makes them particularly effective in areas with less permeable soil, such as clay, limestone, or hard ground. Notably, concrete soakwells are low-maintenance and seldom cause complaints.

Despite their durability, concrete soakwells come with higher installation costs due to the need for an excavator, expenses related to stock delivery, and the expertise required for installation. They are ideally suited for new builds, as installation typically occurs at the slab stage, where access is not an issue, and the risk of hitting service lines is reduced.

Both Concrete and Polypropylene Soakwells excel at diverting excess stormwater and safeguarding your property from damage. However, each type has its own set of pros and cons. While Concrete Soakwells shine in new builds, for existing residential projects or any situation where access might be challenging, polypropylene tanks emerge as the preferred choice.
