Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Riverview Park
Drainage problems in Riverview Park 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 Riverview Park is clay-influenced, expanding in wet conditions and shrinking in drought, which puts older pipe joints under strain. Combined with Riverview Park'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 Riverview Park and the wider Kent area. As well as drainage, we carry out groundworks - concrete bases, patios, excavations, and fencing - so when a drainage repair does require excavation, we handle the reinstatement of the surface ourselves. Using one contractor for drainage and groundworks saves time and money compared to managing separate drainage and groundworks contractors.
