In other news I think I found the source of the rising damp in my house. An old water main that appears not to have been decommissioned. Current supply comes in by the front door, this is at the bottom of an arm's- length pipe in a concrete floor in my hall. The water there pooled up in 5 mins before I took the photo so I basically have a small spring under my floor. Utter fuckers. I'm going to have to dig up my front garden aren't I; or is there some way I can make the water board fix this? Is there any responsibility on the waterboard for decommissioning the old supply when they installed the new one? The current main is right outside my gate, so at least I have a good idea where it's running ( in theory).
