As luck would have it four days after the completion of our gravel front drive leading into block pave paths and patio a water main burst up the road and flooded the front garden. The house is on a slope and the water ran down and collected in ankle deep pools for a couple of hours before the water company arrived to pump it away and fix the leak.
My concern is the impact on the gravel base and what might happen to the edging stones and block paving long term with that amount of standing water having soaked in quickly and then drying out. I know it rains but this is a bit different!
I just need a bit of info to see if there is any prospect of damage to talk sensibly to the water company at this stage. Cheers.
