Soakwells Perth – Reliable Stormwater Drainage Solutions
Overview of Soakwells
Soakwells are underground systems designed to manage stormwater runoff by collecting and dispersing water into the surrounding soil. These systems play a crucial role in protecting properties from water damage, preventing erosion, and maintaining a stable water table. In Perth, where seasonal rains can lead to water pooling or flooding, soakwells are a practical and environmentally friendly solution.
At Bluewater Tanks, we offer a wide range of durable soakwells tailored to suit Perth’s climate and soil conditions. From leach drain kits to geo-fabric solutions, our products are designed to provide efficient drainage and long-lasting performance.

How Do Soakwells Work?
Soakwells collect and manage stormwater through an efficient three-step process:
- Water Collection: Rainwater is funneled from gutters and downpipes into the soakwell system.
- Water Filtration: Systems equipped with geo-fabric or mesh filters remove debris, ensuring smooth water flow and preventing blockages.
- Water Dispersion: Water is gradually released into the surrounding soil through perforated walls or drainage channels, reducing surface runoff.
This process protects properties from water pooling while promoting sustainable water management practices.
Applications of Soakwells
Residential Properties
- Prevent flooding and protect home foundations from water damage.
- Manage water runoff from patios, driveways, and landscaped gardens.
Commercial and Industrial Sites
- Ensure compliance with stormwater regulations for office buildings, retail spaces, and warehouses.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Soakwells
- Capacity Requirements
- Calculate your property’s stormwater volume based on roof area and rainfall intensity.
- Opt for larger or multiple soakwells for high water volumes or expansive properties.
- Material Durability
- Choose soakwells made from polypropylene, concrete, or heavy-duty plastic for long-lasting performance.
- Ensure resistance to cracking, UV exposure, and soil pressure.
- Installation Location
- Place soakwells at least 1.5 meters away from building foundations to prevent water seepage.
- Connect soakwells to gutters and downpipes for efficient water collection.
- Maintenance Needs
- Opt for systems with accessible lids or inspection points for easy cleaning.
- Regularly inspect for blockages and ensure debris-free drainage channels.
