Drainage glossary · Blockages and their causes

Root ingress

Tree and shrub roots growing into a drain through an open joint or crack in search of moisture and nutrients. Once inside, roots form a fibrous mass that traps solids and eventually blocks the pipe.

What it means for you

Root ingress is the leading cause of repeat blockages in older clay drains, which covers most of London's Victorian housing.
