FAQ About Subsoil Drainage

Subsoil drainage is a method used to remove excess water from the soil below the surface to prevent waterlogging and improve soil stability. It typically involves installing perforated pipes underground to collect and redirect water away from the affected area.

To install subsoil drainage, dig trenches with a slight slope, line them with geotextile fabric, and lay perforated drainage pipes inside. Cover the pipes with gravel, fold the fabric over the gravel, backfill with soil, and connect the pipes to an appropriate outlet.

Common types include agricultural drains (also known as French drains), drain pipes (perforated pipes), and drainage trenches filled with gravel or similar materials. The choice depends on the specific requirements of the area being drained.

Whether you need a permit depends on the scale and impact of the installation. For significant projects, especially those that alter the natural flow of water or affect neighbouring properties, a permit from Auckland Council may be required.

Signs that you might need subsoil drainage include water pooling on the surface after rain, soggy or waterlogged soil, and damp or musty smells in basements or crawl spaces.

While smaller drainage projects can be a DIY task, larger or more complex installations should be carried out by professionals. This ensures that the drainage is effective and complies with local regulations.

Maintenance involves ensuring that inlet points and gratings are clear of debris, periodically checking that the system is draining effectively, and, if necessary, flushing the system to clear out silt and sediment.

It’s important to consider where the drained water will go. It should not cause problems downstream or lead to erosion or environmental damage. In some cases, it may be necessary to include a soakaway or other means to disperse the water safely.

The cost varies widely depending on the size of the area, the type of system installed, and the complexity of the project. It’s advisable to get several quotes from reputable contractors.
