Barking's location in Greater London's Thames floodplain means drainage systems face additional pressure during winter from higher groundwater levels and increased rainfall. The area's mix of older clay pipes and modern infrastructure responds differently to these conditions, with Victorian sewers particularly susceptible to infiltration. Combined with reduced natural evaporation and residents using more hot water for heating, winter creates perfect conditions for blockages across IG11's diverse drainage network.
