Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in East Malling Heath
The nature of drainage problems in East Malling Heath 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 East Malling Heath is clay-influenced subsoil, which expands in wet weather and shrinks in dry. Add the area's mature tree cover, and you have the conditions for persistent drainage problems.
