Overall rear-yard layout
The module run follows the available yard edge near the alfresco so stormwater capacity can be added in a practical footprint.
Project snapshot
Perth Rear-Yard Soakwell Capacity Upgrade
This privacy-safe project snapshot shows the type of rear-yard drainage upgrade Rogue Storm can complete where a property needs more stormwater capacity but the working area is narrow, close to paving, and better suited to a long modular system than a broad open excavation.
What this shows
Stormwater capacity added in a long narrow run
Some Perth residential properties need extra stormwater storage but do not present as a simple open yard with endless excavation space. Rear patios, alfresco edges, fence lines and practical access constraints can push the layout toward a long linear soakwell arrangement instead.
This snapshot focuses on that kind of job. Rather than one small isolated pit, the system runs along the available rear-yard edge to create more practical capacity within the shape of the site.
Typical elements in this kind of work
- Long trench excavation through a narrow rear-yard work zone
- Polypropylene soakwell modules laid out in a linear run
- Placement close to patios, paving edges or finished outdoor areas
- Backfill and reinstatement planning around limited access
- Stormwater capacity added without relying on one small local pit
Capacity in a narrow zone
This kind of layout suits sites where the drainage system needs length more than a broad open excavation area.

Why this matters
Rear-yard stormwater work often looks simple from the surface, but patio edges, finished areas, access limits and the amount of new roof or hardstand runoff can change what makes sense. A longer modular system can be the more practical answer where capacity needs to be spread through the site layout.
What helps the first quote review
For similar jobs, the best starting point is photos of the rear yard, patio or alfresco edge, nearby downpipes, access route and any recent renovations or paving changes. That helps identify whether the likely issue is layout, capacity, connection point, or a mix of those factors.

Send your suburb, photos, plans if available and a short description of the drainage issue or project so Rogue Storm can assess whether the likely fix involves added capacity, pipework or a broader layout change.
