Soakwells are a common stormwater solution for Perth homes, but the right system depends on the property. Roof area, soil conditions, available space, access, existing pipework and paving can all affect what should be installed. On many jobs, soakwell work is also tied to runoff correction, downpipe connections, grates, pits and tidy reinstatement rather than only the soakwell unit itself.
Polypropylene soakwells are commonly used for residential installations because they are lightweight and practical for many Perth properties. Concrete soakwells may be preferred or required for some sites depending on load, depth, available space or project requirements.
The right answer should suit the site layout, access and stormwater demand rather than defaulting to one material every time.
When extra capacity comes up
Additional soakwell capacity often becomes necessary after extensions, patios, changed rooflines, extra paving or driveway work alter how much runoff the property produces. Older systems can also struggle once the site layout changes or when downpipes are not being directed into a suitable drainage system.
Access, excavation depth, soil conditions, soakwell size, pipework, paving, spoil removal and compaction all affect the work involved.
Yes. Renovations and extensions are a key part of Rogue Storm’s work.
Include your suburb, photos of the area, downpipes and access, plus plans if the roof area, patio or paving layout is changing.
