Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in New Town
The nature of drainage problems in New Town is directly influenced by local ground conditions and the age of local properties. 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. Much of the ground in and around New Town 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.
Smarter Drainage's team have built up detailed knowledge of drainage conditions across New Town 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. One contractor, one call saves New Town homeowners the time and cost of coordinating separate trades.
