Offset joint
- Observed
- Two lengths of pipe no longer line up where they meet, leaving a step.
- Why it matters
- The step can snag debris and may allow roots or ground water in, which can lead to blockages over time.

Root ingress
- Observed
- Roots are growing in through a join or gap in the pipe wall.
- Why it matters
- Roots catch debris and can cause repeat blockages, and over time they widen the opening and let still more roots in.

What we recommend
Our advice, based on what the camera found.
Reline 5–14.5 m
Roots are getting in at several joints along the same stretch of clay pipe. Cutting them out on its own will not stop them coming back, so the fix is to cut and clear the full length, then reline it as one run from 5.0 m to 14.5 m. That seals every joint in that section at once.
