FAQ About Subsoil Drainage
What Is 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.
How to Install Subsoil Drainage?

What are the common types of subsoil drainage systems?
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.
Do I need a permit to install subsoil drainage in Auckland?
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.
