Southampton mixes Victorian terraces, post-war homes and waterside conversions, and much of it is low-lying. That brings high water tables and ageing pipes, and a camera survey can show both.
Large parts of Southampton sit close to the water table, so low-lying runs tend to take in silt and groundwater. Many older terraces still have their original clay pipes. Mature trees and mixed-age housing add roots and cracked joints to the usual faults.
