At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we provide expert drainage services to residents and businesses in Lincolnshire, including Grantham and surrounding areas.

A soakaway drain, also known as a soak pit or infiltration trench, is a type of drainage system designed to collect and filter rainwater and wastewater from your property. It typically consists of a tank or pit filled with aggregate material, such as gravel or sand, which allows water to percolate into the surrounding soil.

Soakaway drains can become blocked due to various reasons, including:

• Sediment and debris accumulation
• Tree root invasion
• Poor maintenance
• Incorrect installation
• High water table levels

If you notice any of the following symptoms, it may indicate a blocked soakaway drain:

• Water pooling in your garden or field
• Slow drainage or flooding
• Bad odors or smells
• Gurgling sounds from the drain

To clear a blocked soakaway drain, follow these steps:

1. Locate the Soakaway Drain: Identify the location of your soakaway drain, which is usually marked by a manhole cover or a slight depression in the ground.
2. Check the Drain: Inspect the drain to determine the cause of the blockage. If you're unsure, consider hiring a professional drainage company like Blocked Drains Lincoln to assess the issue.
3. Clear Debris: Remove any debris, such as leaves or twigs, from the drain entrance.
4. Use a Drain Snake: Insert a drain snake or auger into the drain to break up any blockages or sediment accumulation.
5. Flush the Drain: Use a hose to flush the drain with water to remove any remaining debris.
6. Check the Drain Field: If the blockage is caused by a problem with the drain field, you may need to inspect and clean the field to ensure proper drainage.

To prevent future blockages, consider the following:

• Regularly inspect and maintain your soakaway drain
• Keep the drain entrance clear of debris
• Avoid pouring grease, oil, or other contaminants down the drain
• Consider installing a septic tank or other alternative drainage systems
