ACO Domestic Soakaway

Underground soakaway solution for preventing garden flooding

Use a domestic soakaway to contain and infiltrate roof and patio water when ground conditions allow. ACO StormBrixx modules scale to garden size and are easy to assemble.

Drainage of surface water around any property is vitally important and with the right to connect to a sewer no longer automatic, effective soakaways are now a key part in the planning of any development.

FAQs

• Do I need permission? Check local regulations and soil percolation before installation.
• How big should it be? Size to roof/paved area and soil infiltration; see technical guide.
• Can I place it under lawn? Yes—maintain cover depth and away from building foundations.

Manufactured from recycled and recyclable plastic, ACO StormBrixx is easy to handle and quick to install. Its high void ratio reduces the cost associated with traditional soakaways.

It is important to note that Building Regulations Part H3 states that any soakaway should be installed at minimum 5 metres away from any building line (e.g. foundations). 

ACO StormBrixx provides the installer with added assurance for an effective long life solution.
