A BRE Digest 365 test is conducted to assess how much rainwater or stormwater a soakaway can handle, ensuring it’s designed with the correct capacity.
This test is crucial for preventing flooding and managing excess water on your property, especially during heavy rainfall. In Ireland, many County Councils have made it a requirement for planning applications, meaning you’ll often need to include the results of a BRE Digest 365 test when submitting your paperwork for construction or renovation projects.
By doing so, you ensure your drainage system meets local regulations and works efficiently to protect both your property and the environment.
