Internal plastic soil pipe is against party wall.
It has branches at floor level in basement, ground and second floors.
Neighbour has a damp patch, 200mm diameter at about 2m high, in basement.
House is large early Vic, or older.
I found an inspection hatch at basement, floor level which was cracked and leaking a few drops.
So either the water was leaking here and rising about 2 metres, or there's a leak above which just happens to go through at that height.
I've heard damp can only rise 1 metre, but I've witnessed it going higher than that, many times.
What do you think?
Nearly all the pipe is boxed in. Any cunning methods of finding the leak if it's higher up? Lights and cameras?
