I think I have a leaking pipe in the concrete floor under my kitchen.
About the time our washing machine failed, we noticed that there was a damp patch under it and the surrounding lino.
Even though it's been replaced, the leak is spreading. Increasing areas of lino are "creaking" and a damp patch has appeared in the floor of an adjacent hall cupboard.
Since we're in the process of selling our house to a developer (moving out in 2-3 months) and don't want to spend money that we don't need to, what are our options?
The current symptoms are as above, plus increasing levels of condensation and the beginnings of a little mould on the wall near the washing machine.
We're planning to call in a local plumber to see if he can isolate the downstairs hot water. We're also off out to get a dehumidifier.
Any suggestions please?
Many thanks in advance,
Nigel Day
