Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Grafty Green
The nature of drainage problems in Grafty Green is directly influenced by local ground conditions and the age of local properties. Kent's geology varies significantly across the county - 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 Grafty Green is clay-influenced subsoil, which expands in wet weather and shrinks in dry. Combined with Grafty Green'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 Grafty Green and the wider Kent area. As well as drainage, we carry out groundworks - including patios, concrete bases, excavations, and fencing - which means that when a drain repair requires excavation, we can reinstate the surface properly afterwards. Using one contractor for drainage and groundworks saves Grafty Green homeowners the time and cost of coordinating separate trades.
