In Blandford-forum we frequently encounter silt and sediment infiltration from river stour flooding events and root intrusion from mature stour valley woodland and estate trees. Properties such as Georgian townhouses, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Dorset flint and stone cottages, and modern rural estates can be particularly susceptible due to ageing pipework and mature vegetation.
