Driveway drains are a crucial element in extending the lifespan of your driveway. Without adequate drainage solutions, such as soakwells and kerbing, your driveway can become quickly effect by stagnant water which has the potential to cause or worsen various issues such as cracks, potholes, and foundation damage. Thankfully, keeping your driveway dry and preventing water damage isn’t too tricky with the right team and the right tools. As the experts on asphalt driveways and driveway construction, we’ve compiled a selection of resources below on driveway drainage to help you understand your options.
Driveway kerbing and soakwells keep stagnant water off your driveway to protect the material underneath and extend the longevity of your driveway. While driveway kerbing may not come front-of-mind when building a new driveway, it is a key step for many driveways from semi-rural to commercial. Not only does it help with water drainage, but it can also act as a barrier to stop cars from going to unwanted areas and to distinguish the look and feel of your driveway. Often working in conjunction with soakwells, kerbing has a lot to offer for large driveways. While kerbing focuses on redirecting water, soakwells are focused on disposal. Driveway soakwells are underground tanks made of durable materials that catch and disperse stormwater into the surrounding soil. It carefully allows water to seep away without causing damage to surrounding areas and minimises potential water damage on your asphalt driveway.
