Flooded Drains & Manholes in The Hermitage

Flooded Drains & Manholes for The Hermitage (KT20) 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 flooded drains & manholes in The Hermitage, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.

Most common drainage problems in The Hermitage

  • Displaced joints and misalignment caused by ground movement
  • Root ingress at clay pipe joints on tree-lined streets around The Hermitage
  • Shared drainage disputes between neighbouring or converted properties
  • Surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains
  • Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in KT20
