[QUOTE="Lincs Lass, post: 7838591, member: 4685"] Did all the ground works for a new build bit over 3 years ago ,,the perculation test for the soak away required a hole 1.5x1.5x 4.5 mtrs . Hole dug perfectly dry ,pea gravel 100mm and then the plastic crates ,,on the morning of the building regs inspection there was 300mm of water in the hole and it hadnt rained ,,it had come up ,,the soil was heavy red clay and the ground water had risen over night ,,quickly surrounded the crates with more pea gravel to hide the water ,,inspector look in ,ticked the box and cleared of . the hole would hold alot of water and never soak away so we stuck a pipe in the top of the crates into the nearest foul drain chamber ,,it never floods and if it does over top ,,the foul drains get flushed out .
