Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in Upper Fant
Drainage problems in Upper Fant 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 Upper Fant is clay-influenced, expanding in wet conditions and shrinking in drought, which puts older pipe joints under strain. Combined with Upper Fant's established tree cover, and you have the conditions for persistent drainage problems.
Tom and the Smarter Drainage engineers have built up detailed knowledge of drainage conditions across Upper Fant and the wider Kent area. As well as drainage, we carry out groundworks - including patios, concrete bases, excavations, and fencing - so when a drainage repair does require excavation, we handle the reinstatement of the surface ourselves. One contractor, one call saves time and money compared to managing separate drainage and groundworks contractors.
