What Are Soakwells?

Soakwells are underground stormwater management systems designed to collect runoff from roofs, driveways and paved areas and safely disperse it into the surrounding soil. In Perth, they play a critical role in managing stormwater on-site, reducing surface water pooling and preventing flooding.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a soakwell?
    A soakwell is a system that captures stormwater from your roof and slowly releases it back into the ground, preventing runoff into gardens, driveways, and roads.
    Most councils mandate that properties capture and store at least 2,000 litres of water from the roof, with a minimum of 60% of the roof area directed to the stormwater detention system. Requirements can vary, so we assist you in ensuring your plans comply with local council regulations.
    Yes, some soakwell systems can be connected to detention tanks, allowing captured rainwater to be stored and reused, which is an excellent way to conserve water and reduce utility costs.

    An ATU (Aerobic Treatment Unit) treats household wastewater using oxygen. Soakwells handle stormwater from roofs and hard surfaces.
