Soakaways & drainage fields in Cornwall
The drainage field is where a septic tank’s effluent is actually treated, in the soil. When it fails — waterlogging, smells, backing up — the whole system stops working. We assess, repair and install drainage fields to standard across Cornwall.
Built to standard
A compliant drainage field is designed to BS 6297 with the right size and soil percolation for your property. A percolation (soil) test tells us what the ground can take — we do this before designing the field so it lasts.

Common questions
How do I know if my drainage field has failed?
Persistent wet or lush patches over the field, smells, slow drainage and backing up — especially in wet weather — point to a field that can no longer cope and needs assessment.
