Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Hearnden Green
The nature of drainage problems in Hearnden Green 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. Much of the ground in and around Hearnden Green is clay-influenced subsoil, which expands in wet weather and shrinks in dry. Combined with Hearnden Green's established tree cover, and the conditions that cause persistent root ingress and pipe joint displacement are in place.
