The holiday season brings excitement, travel, family gatherings, and a chance to relax. But it also brings increased risks. More people are on the roads, many homes are left unattended, and there is generally more activity and distraction. During this time, being prepared for both security threats and medical emergencies becomes essential.

Managing effluent, groundwater, or stormwater shouldn’t be costly, complicated, or unreliable. Yet traditional soakaway systems often rely on geotextile fabric, stone layers, and perforated pipes—materials that increase installation time, drive up costs, and offer limited long-term performance. These older systems can struggle under demanding conditions such as high water tables, heavy rainfall, or poor soil structure, making them less effective and more prone to maintenance issues.
