Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Bottom Pond
The nature of drainage problems in Bottom Pond is directly influenced by local ground conditions and the age of local properties. Kent has a varied geology - with heavy clay soils across the Low Weald, chalk on the North Downs, and river alluvium in the Medway Valley. A good deal of the ground around Bottom Pond is clay-influenced, expanding in wet conditions and shrinking in drought, which puts older pipe joints under strain. Add the area's mature tree cover, and you have the conditions for persistent drainage problems.
Tom and the Smarter Drainage engineers know Bottom Pond and Kent drainage well. As well as drainage, we carry out groundworks - concrete bases, patios, excavations, and fencing - so when a drainage repair does require excavation, we handle the reinstatement of the surface ourselves. Using one contractor for drainage and groundworks saves Bottom Pond homeowners the time and cost of coordinating separate trades.
