If it's beyond fixing and you have the room then it's sometimes easier to put a new soakaway in, one man on a mini digger and another helping would normally do that in a day, in the last one we did as a private job we used a soakaway crate and some Geotex to stop any surrounding earth falling into it, crates are handy if you don't have access to clean washed hardcore or can't be bothered with hit and miss block work etc:

In the rainwater soakaway I did at our place a few years ago I used hardcore rather than a crate 'cos I had loads of hardcore on site to get rid of
It was quite a big one it takes all the rainwater from the house roof and also from the garage/woodshed roof.
