In Swansea we frequently encounter root intrusion into ageing clay drains in uplands, sketty, and st thomas and fat and grease buildup from restaurants around wind street and the city centre. Properties such as Victorian terraces, post-war housing, modern waterfront apartments, and commercial premises can be particularly susceptible due to ageing pipework and mature vegetation.
