Why does my compound flood even when the soakaway is not full?

Compound flooding during heavy rain is usually a drainage design issue, not a soakaway problem. If the inlet channels are undersized, blocked, or poorly graded, rainwater cannot enter the system fast enough and pools in your compound. Our specialists diagnose both soakaway and drainage issues.

My soakaway is overflowing during rainy season, what do I do?

This is a serious health hazard. Call for emergency emptying immediately. Heavy rain saturates the soil around your soakaway and reduces its absorption capacity, causing overflow. After emptying, a drainage specialist should assess whether the soakaway needs to be upgraded or relocated.

How often should I empty my soakaway?

Every 1-3 years for a typical Lagos household. High-occupancy buildings may need annual emptying. Before rainy season (April/May) is the best time, a full soakaway combined with saturated soil from heavy rain is a guaranteed overflow.

Can you build a new soakaway?

Yes. Our specialists excavate and construct new soakaways with proper drainage chambers, including correct siting to avoid flooding your neighbour.
