Technical Overview
What is Percolation Testing in Kent?
Percolation testing measures how quickly water drains through the ground to determine if a site is suitable for sewage treatment plants, soakaways, new developments, or replacement drainage systems. Accurate testing is essential before installing many off-mains drainage systems to ensure long-term environmental safety and system efficiency. Our process follows rigorous technical standards to provide accurate trust statements for your project compliance.
