Southampton's mix of Victorian terraces, post-war housing and waterside conversions — much of it low-lying — brings high-water-table and ageing-pipe drainage problems that a camera survey pinpoints fast.
Large parts of Southampton sit close to the water table, so low-lying runs are prone to silt and infiltration, while the city's older terraces often retain original clay pipework. Mature trees and mixed-age housing add root ingress and cracked joints to the common list of faults.

- High water table and infiltration in low-lying areas
