DIY Soakwells vs Perth Soakwells: A Comprehensive Guide
Soakwells are an essential component of any property's stormwater drainage system. They serve as a storage unit for the rainwater that falls on your property, allowing the water to drain into the sand and out of the tank. Choosing between installing soakwells yourself or getting a professional to do it can be a daunting task, with each option having its own pros and cons. In this article, we will explore the benefits and risks associated with both DIY soakwells and professionally installed soakwells by Perth Soakwells.
DIY Soakwells
Installing soakwells yourself can be a cost-effective option for property owners who are handy and confident in their ability to install the soakwells. However, installing soakwells is a complex process that requires a high level of expertise and experience to ensure that the soakwells are installed correctly. If the soakwells are not installed correctly, it can result in costly consequences, including water damage and flooding. Additionally, once the landscaping or paving has been done, redoing the job may be required, leading to additional costs and inconvenience.

Perth Soakwells has extensive experience in installing soakwells in properties with different soil types, including sandy, clay and rocky properties.
The Risk
Installing soakwells requires a high level of expertise and experience to ensure that the soakwells are installed correctly. Several factors must be considered, such as having adequate soakwell capacity, making sure that the soil type of the property is compatible with the soakwells, and ensuring that the piping system allows sufficient flow. If the soil on a property has a high clay content, then soakwells may not be recommended as clay is largely impermeable and does not allow soakwells to effectively serve their purpose.

All of our soakwells are wrapped in geo-fabric to prevent any soil from leaching into the soakwells, which prevents the leaching of sand into the soakwell, while allowing the water to exit.
