Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Birchington-on-Sea (CT7) properties

Much of the Weald sits on heavy clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer. That movement is the single biggest cause of cracked and displaced joints in older clay drain runs here. That matters for drain excavation & re-lay in Birchington-on-Sea, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.
