Soakaway Problems
Soakaway Problems – Common Issues
Soakaway problems can occur when an inexperienced or unprofessional company has not designed the soakaway correctly. In which case, you will need to find better drainage specialists to help you with the problem. Below, we are going to take a look at some of the common issues with soakaways.
It can often be difficult to diagnose why your soakaway has failed without expert assistance, as failing soakaways can be quite complicated. There may have been physical damage to the soakaway, or perhaps the wrong ground conditions have lead to certain issues. Your soakaway will quickly back up if it has not been installed in the right type of ground. Certain soils, such as clay, simply are not suitable because they do not have sufficient gaps in between the soil particles. The wrong depth below ground is another issue. If the soakaway has not been installed at the right depth, huge problems can arise. Too deep, and anaerobic bacteria develops, which produces an awful black slimy substance. Tree roots can also cause damage to soakaways, as they can block the system. If this is left unattended, the damage will only get worse. If there has been damage to the septic tank, this can then cause a knock-on effect and impact the soakaway. The kind of damage to the septic tank that can often lead to soakaway problems includes damage to the tank’s structure, damage to the dip pipes, or a collapsed baffle. Finally, poor soakaway construction in the form of a high water table is another issue.
