Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Teston
The nature of drainage problems in Teston 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. A good deal of the ground around Teston is clay-influenced subsoil, which expands in wet weather and shrinks in dry. Add the area's mature tree cover, and the conditions that cause persistent root ingress and pipe joint displacement are in place.
Smarter Drainage's team know Teston and Kent drainage well. 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. One contractor, one call saves time and money compared to managing separate drainage and groundworks contractors.
