The Novecrafto 192L Soakaway Crate Drainage Kit is an essential solution for homeowners and landscapers looking to mitigate waterlogging, flooding, and soil erosion in residential or commercial areas. This kit provides an efficient way to manage surface water runoff from patios, driveways, and garden spaces by channeling it underground for controlled release, though it requires significant excavation work to install properly.

Yes, the crate is rated to support up to 20 tonnes/m², making it suitable for residential driveways.
It serves as a filter that lets water pass through while blocking silt and soil particles that would otherwise clog the crate.
Yes, the modular design allows you to link units together to expand the total capacity for larger runoff areas.
Depth depends on your local soil conditions and pipe inlet heights, but it must be buried deep enough to support the weight of the surface material above.
Clay soil has poor natural drainage. You may need a larger soakaway area or an alternative discharge method if your soil is mostly clay.
Verify that the pipes leading to the crate are not blocked and ensure the geotextile membrane was installed correctly to allow water passage.
You may need to add additional crates to the modular system to increase total volume if the current rainfall runoff exceeds 192L.
To install, excavate a hole deep enough to accommodate the crate and a layer of gravel underneath for drainage. Wrap the crate completely in the provided geotextile membrane to prevent fines from entering the system. Once placed in the hole, surround the unit with shingle or clean gravel to improve infiltration rates before backfilling with soil. It is compatible with standard 110mm drainage piping. Care is minimal; since the geotextile membrane prevents soil ingress, the system is largely maintenance-free once installed correctly. Avoid installing the crate near building foundations to prevent potential ground saturation issues near your home.
