Rugby sits on some of the heaviest clay soils in the East Midlands border zone. The geology beneath CV21, CV22, and CV23 is predominantly Lias clay, which is one of the most reactive clay types in England. It absorbs water and expands significantly in wet conditions, then shrinks and cracks during dry spells. That seasonal movement is the primary cause of drainage failure in Rugby's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which sit on original clay drainage pipe that has been subjected to ground movement for over a century. Our drainage engineers in Rugby working in the older streets around the town centre, Hillmorton Road, and the terraces off Clifton Road deal regularly with pipes that have cracked or displaced at their joints as a result of this clay behaviour.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Rugby every day.
Lias clay beneath much of Rugby is highly reactive. It swells in wet conditions and shrinks when dry. That seasonal movement displaces clay pipe joints over time, causing cracking and creating gaps for root ingress. Properties on original Victorian clay drainage are most affected.
In some parts of the town, yes. Alkaline soil chemistry from cement production can affect the rate of clay and concrete pipe deterioration. We assess soil conditions during CCTV surveys in affected areas and factor this into repair recommendations.
We can reach most Rugby addresses in around 60 minutes. CV21 town centre properties are typically the fastest. Outlying rural CV23 properties may take a few minutes longer.
No. There is no call-out fee. We agree a fixed price on site before any work starts.
