Perth's Soakwell & Surface Drainage Specialists
When the winter rains hit Perth, undersized or failing soakwells can turn your yard into a swamp, pool water against the house, and send stormwater flooding onto driveways, paths and neighbouring properties. Perth's sandy soils normally drain well - until clay layers, compacted ground, or crushed and silted-up soakwells stop the water going anywhere.
At A Team Plumbing and Gas, we design, install, and repair soakwell and surface drainage systems for homes across Perth. Whether you're building new, extending an existing system, or trying to fix a yard that floods every time it rains, our licensed plumbers will size and install the right solution the first time, fully compliant with local council and Water Corporation requirements.
What Our Soakwell Installation Service Includes
Our soakwell installation service is designed to handle Perth's heavy winter downpours and protect your home from water damage.
- On-site assessment of your block, soil and rainfall load
- Correct soakwell sizing based on your roof catchment area
- Excavation and installation of concrete or polypropylene soakwells
- Connection of downpipes and stormwater pipes to the new system
- Surface drainage, spoon drains, channel drains and yard grates
- Backfill, compaction and tidy reinstatement of lawn or paving
- Council and Water Corporation compliant installation
We work on both residential and small commercial sites and can match new installations to existing concrete or plastic systems.
Why Soakwells Fail in Perth
Perth has a unique climate: long dry summers followed by intense winter downpours that can dump a month of rain in a single storm. Add sandy topsoil sitting over clay or limestone in many suburbs, and soakwells that are undersized, poorly connected, or never installed in the first place simply can't cope.
Common signs your soakwells or yard drainage aren't working:
- Water pooling against the house or slab after rain
- Soggy patches, boggy lawn or mossy pavers that never dry out
- Stormwater running onto driveways, footpaths or the neighbour's block
- Downpipes discharging straight onto garden beds or lawn
- Cracked or collapsed soakwell lids, or lids you can't locate
- Water damage, damp or rising moisture on internal walls
- Subsidence, erosion or sinkholes appearing in the yard
If any of these sound familiar, it's time to get a licensed plumber out before the next big downpour does serious damage.
New Installs, Repairs & Soakwell Replacements
We help Perth homeowners at every stage:
- New soakwell installations on new builds, extensions and landscaping projects
- Soakwell repair and replacement of cracked, collapsed or undersized wells
- Upgrading older systems that no longer cope with today's bigger roof areas and harder storms
