This was also prescribed here. However, the own soil survey with infiltration test showed that infiltration is not possible on the own area. Ergo, we were exempted from the obligation.

The only problem I have is that the infiltration trench is already in the ground and a hole has formed... At one spot the ground has collapsed and a 1.8m deep hole with almost 40cm diameter has appeared. I held a camera on a long rod down there and a small cavity formed at the bottom. That was in the bed where there was only soil and where the collapse happened. I have a cistern connected upstream... I will first make sure that the cistern does not overflow and thus the infiltration trench is practically not needed. Question 1: Can I find out if there are other holes/cavities without damaging my entire lawn? Question 2: If the hole or holes are refilled, who tells me they won’t form again?

Do you still have a warranty on it? If such a pit forms due to the [Rigole], it definitely does not sound to me like a professionally installed [Rigole]. I would urgently get an expert to make sure it is properly repaired.
