Soakwell advice
How Many Soakwells Do I Need in Perth?
The honest answer is: it depends on the property. Roof area, runoff, soil conditions, available space and existing drainage all affect how many soakwells may be needed.
For Perth homes, soakwells are commonly used to manage roof runoff and stormwater. A small, simple roof area may need a different setup to a large renovation, extension, patio or new build.
What affects soakwell requirements?
- Total roof area draining into the system
- Number and location of downpipes
- Soil conditions and drainage capacity
- Available installation space
- Access for excavation
- Whether paving or landscaping needs to be disturbed
- Existing soakwells, pits and pipework
Renovations can change the answer
If you are extending or renovating, the original stormwater system may not suit the new roof area or changed ground levels. Extra capacity may be needed to reduce overflow and pooling issues.
