Blocked Drains in Bournemouth: The Ground Changes From Plot to Plot
Bournemouth sits in the Poole Basin, on Eocene sands, clays and gravels that give thin, acidic soils. The Branksome Sand outcrops in an arc across the north of the town rather than under all of it, and roughly half the district has later gravel, head and alluvium on top. A trench in an ordinary garden goes through topsoil, then something gravelly or clayey, and only then reaches sand.
- A dig can be shallow and simple at one address and deep and awkward at the next, so we look at your plot before we quote.
- Imported topsoil and made ground in a garden can differ from the geology beneath it, which is another reason the cause is found on site.
- Where a trench would pass through several layers, ask us whether lining suits the drain before anyone opens the ground.
