Flooded Drains & Manholes for Forest Row (RH18) properties

Clay-with-flints subsoil holds water on the surface long after rain has stopped, which pushes surface water into foul drains that were never designed to take it. That matters for flooded drains & manholes in Forest Row, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.
