Local Drainage Knowledge - Why It Matters in West Peckham
Drainage problems in West Peckham 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 West Peckham is clay-influenced, expanding in wet conditions and shrinking in drought, which puts older pipe joints under strain. Add the area's mature tree cover, and you have the conditions for persistent drainage problems.
