In Cottingham we frequently encounter silt accumulation from the high spring-line water table and root intrusion from mature garden trees. Properties such as Victorian villas, inter-war semis, modern estate housing, and commercial premises can be particularly susceptible due to ageing pipework and mature vegetation.
