Homebuyer Drain Surveys for New Pound (ME18) 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 homebuyer drain surveys in New Pound, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.

Most common drainage problems in New Pound

  • Surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains
  • Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in ME18
  • Scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs

  • Blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways
