Hi everyone ......... Sorry I haven't been around as much as I was . The past four years have
been one huge problem after another ....After the last 8 months my kitchen is now in working order,......and my sink and cooker back in place., Along with two usable bathrooms......
I though I had another leaking water pipe in the hall as the work was finishing , it appears it is
rising damp.........The cause could be an old cistern in the rear garden .
There are no obvious pipes feeding this tank ,so it must be coming from surface rainwater......
What I need to ask is .......how is this water getting into the property ? .......
How do you stop it ,is it a .dig out or a fill in ... Since I lost Jim its difficult coping with such
things .......my family are a distance away, and builders thirteen years ago when we
rebuilt and extended never found anything. This place is about three hundred plus years old.
I plan to call in a surveyor ,it would just be nice to know & what to expect,and perhaps a country lad or lass might just have some knowledge
thank you .
Jo...☺️
ps........am only a few yards from a river.......
