Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Hale
Drainage problems in Hale 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 Hale is clay-influenced subsoil, which expands in wet weather and shrinks in dry. Combined with Hale's established tree cover, and you have the conditions for persistent drainage problems.
Smarter Drainage's team know Hale and Kent drainage well. We also carry out groundworks alongside our drainage work - including patios, concrete bases, excavations, and fencing - which means that when a drain repair requires excavation, we can reinstate the surface properly afterwards. One contractor, one call saves time and money compared to managing separate drainage and groundworks contractors.
