Ensure your site is right for a drainage system with a foundation investigation
A drainage system needs a strong foundation. The physical properties of that foundation need to be measured to ensure the site is safe. A foundation investigation will help to identify and account for potential risks, mitigating the chance of delay and rising project costs. Drainfix Services in Chelmsford can carry out that investigation, liaising with any stakeholders including Structural Engineers, Architects, Building Developers, Consulting Engineers, Piling Contractors, Housing Associations, and Private Homeowners..

What does a foundation investigation cover?
Our capabilities cover a broad spectrum, including both large and small-scale projects such as new builds, subsidence assessments, and ground investigations. We employ various methodologies to ensure precision and to meet your specific needs. These methods include Trial pitting, boreholes, in-situ testing, Datum installations, crack monitoring, sampling, and soil testing. For subsidence-related contracts, we use a Restricted Access CFA Mechanical drilling rig to achieve the necessary depth.
Specialists in soil investigations
In compliance with stringent building regulations, particularly regarding new constructions, we prioritise reporting on soil contamination. We seamlessly integrate soil testing into our investigation process and incorporate the findings into our comprehensive reports.

We also facilitate a diverse range of supplementary services such as soil testing, tree root identification, CCTV drain surveys, and an array of geotechnical reports. These services are conducted in collaboration with reputable partners with whom we have longstanding relationships, ensuring a leading service delivery.
