Hi all,
down my cellar which is mainly dry and believe or not carpeted for the previous owners mother!, the waste pipe from a loo down there is boxed in so I never see it. It's just on concrete and the rest is boarded and mainly dry.
I've had a small "collapse" of the boxing probably due to too much weight being stacked up on shelves resting on them.
In the dark area where the pipe is I discovered some roots as per the photo. Not everywhere but just growing towards or from a couple of bits of chipboard which fell in when my dad drilled some air holes 10 years ago.
I've looked at images of dry and wet rot but not convinced it's either?
Any thoughts?
Can vegetation roots grow like this or is it more sinister?
Thanks for any help or advice in advance.
regards,
Richard
