Drain Odour Investigation for Chelwood Gate (RH17) properties

Greensand and chalk ridges drain fast on the surface but concentrate groundwater lower down, so soakaways and low-lying gullies take the brunt after a downpour. That matters for drain odour investigation in Chelwood Gate, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.
