Drain Excavation & Re-Lay in Holmes's Hill

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 Holmes's Hill, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.
