What i think is happening is, The water course has always been there, No idea why? But the ground work being carried out for the new houses at the bottom of the road is restricting the water from flowing down the hill, Hence its backing up the hill. The houses across the bottom of the street are also having flooding issues in there gardens, This is the entrance to the site last week, This entrance runs parallel behind the houses at the bottom, 

This shows degraded soil perfectly !……tanks full, spring over flows, soil can’t hold it because it gets ploughed twice a year and the structure is f****d which is also made worse by monoculture modern agricultural intensive practices…..and you get soil run off…..as clearly seen here.

The scientific name is “man made clusterfuck !”

I’m at a high point on the Tyne valley, everything is steeply downhill from here. 
Had it over 40 years and never had a problem with flooding.

it could back up your sewers still if a pump went down at the right time but been high it’s never going to get into your home 

a house on the top of a valley as astute as ever lol

Probably nothing more than the fact that it aint stopped f**king raining.Ive been doing a lot of work around the Whitstable area in kent which is pretty much all clay and the last 6 weeks or so as soon as you get a ft down youre hitting water whether it be footings or fence post holes and no ammount of pumping out makes a difference.The second you stop pumping the hole/footing is full again in litterally minutes.

Yup that clays a pain, we dug some footings out ( near whistable ish) last week hit the water table and it’s unbelievable bleeding, a sump pump just about kept it at bay. Nothing nice about foundation digging in the winter.

Think Whitstable sits on Thanet sand as well mate .

If theres 'dirty' water, running out from any site like that...then someones in serious shit...carries massive fines...

Could be a few different things....

No Hydro brakes along the new line...( They Slow down and store the extra water from a new development ,and release it into the old existing drainage so its not overwhelmed).. either mechanical (by hand) or an electronic sensor,attached to a massive pit and pump station ,that open /closes...

They've piped all roof and rainwater into soak aways...to save money...they clogg up in no time,if not constructed right ....bad practice to be honest...always comes back on you...these days they have you dig 'hundred yr ponds'..all rain water out through header walls,pump station above it..its a back up if the 'pumping' station fails..

Give the health and safety inspector a ring....they send someone out pronto...and some cnut,be ripped a new arsehole

 

 

 

If all else fails.....Deep down in the North east underground,lives a crack team of day walkers ,If you need help,and you can find him....then you need The McHull Team

Maybe a long way down but youll dig a long way to find it.Most of whitstable is London clay.

Managing ground water better than anything ever invented for the last gazillion years !
