Cracks – depending on the type of pipes that you have and the age of your home, you can find that cracks appear. This is especially true where Victorian clay pipes have been used.These can become susceptible to crack over time and as a result of movement and vibrations through the ground.

Collapsed pipes – this can occur when the pipes become weakened over time and it is often seen when water starts seeping into the ground around the pipe. It occurs as a result of corrosion of the pipes and when there has been significant movement of the earth around the pipes.
