Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Chestnut Street
Drainage problems in Chestnut Street are shaped by the local geology and housing stock. Kent has a varied geology - from the clay-dominated Low Weald to chalk on the North Downs and alluvial deposits along the Medway and its tributaries. A good deal of the ground around Chestnut Street is clay-influenced subsoil, which expands in wet weather and shrinks in dry. Combined with Chestnut Street's established tree cover, and you have the conditions for persistent drainage problems.
Tom and the Smarter Drainage engineers have built up detailed knowledge of drainage conditions across Chestnut Street and the wider Kent area. As well as drainage, we carry out groundworks - including patios, concrete bases, excavations, and fencing - so when a drainage repair does require excavation, we handle the reinstatement of the surface ourselves. One contractor, one call saves Chestnut Street homeowners the time and cost of coordinating separate trades.
