Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Lunsford
The nature of drainage problems in Lunsford is directly influenced by local ground conditions and the age of local properties. Kent's geology varies significantly across the county - from the clay-dominated Low Weald to chalk on the North Downs and alluvial deposits along the Medway and its tributaries. Much of the ground in and around Lunsford is clay-influenced subsoil, which expands in wet weather and shrinks in dry. Combined with Lunsford's established tree cover, and the conditions that cause persistent root ingress and pipe joint displacement are in place.
Smarter Drainage's team have built up detailed knowledge of drainage conditions across Lunsford and the wider Kent area. As well as drainage, we carry out groundworks - concrete bases, patios, 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 time and money compared to managing separate drainage and groundworks contractors.
