Soakage Testing
JD Tankers provides professional soakage testing services for construction projects and property developments across Reading and Berkshire. Soakage tests are used to measure how quickly water drains into the ground, helping engineers and developers determine whether a site is suitable for soakaways or other drainage solutions.
Accurate soakage testing is an important step when designing effective drainage systems for new builds, extensions and land developments. Our experienced team carries out testing in accordance with recognised drainage guidelines, helping ensure the correct drainage system is designed for the site.
By understanding soil permeability and ground conditions, developers can implement drainage systems that safely manage surface water while meeting planning and environmental requirements.

Supporting Drainage Design for Construction Projects
Soakage testing provides valuable information when planning drainage systems for construction projects. The results of these tests help engineers determine whether soakaways can be used to manage rainwater and surface runoff.
JD Tankers works with property developers, builders and contractors across Reading and Berkshire, providing reliable testing that supports effective drainage planning.
Soakage testing is commonly required for:
• New residential developments
• Commercial building projects
• Property extensions
• Sustainable drainage system design (SuDS)
• Planning and building regulation applications
Reliable testing ensures that drainage systems are designed correctly from the start, reducing the risk of future flooding or drainage failures.
