Ground testing first. Drainage expertise alongside it.
Start with the infiltration rate your designer needs. We also investigate ground conditions, survey drains and carry out repairs, so you can ask us about the rest of the site too.

03Drainage
Jetting & Drain Cleaning
Booked jetting that strips silt, fat and root debris from the bore, so the camera returns clean, gradeable footage of the pipe wall itself.

How the Percologger monitors a trial pit, illustrated
We follow the water, however long it takes.
We designed and make our own Percologger to record the falling water level. It relays progress to the office so we can plan return fills around your test.
01
An agreed testing scope
Pit locations, depths, access, water and reinstatement are agreed in your fixed-price quotation.
02
Readings you can follow
Water levels and test progress are shared with you. Live updates depend on the connection at the site.
03
A result for your designer
The report sets out the measured infiltration rate, the readings behind it and any limitations. Soakaway sizing and approval are separate.
Areas we cover

Why we do this
An infiltration figure is only useful when you can follow the evidence behind it. We measure the pit, record the falling water level and explain the calculation, so you and your designer can see how the result was reached.
