Our roads keep raising. Our homes keep sinking.

Every new layer of tar lifts the road higher than the houses beside it. When it rains, water and sewage flow into homes. Help us find the worst of 10 shortlisted roads.

Why this keeps happening

Roads are laid over old roads

Resurfacing without removing the old layer raises the road a little every time.

Homes end up below the street

The floor of a house stays where it was built, so the doorstep slowly ends up lower than the road.

Rain brings the street inside

Rain water and sewage flow to the lowest point, which is often a family's home.
