    House shakes since water leak under floorboards

    The plaster on the inside wall is cracked not the brickwork but the path is cracked where the plaster crack is. I'm sorry I don't know how to post photos either.

    House shakes since water leak under floorboards

    I had a really bad water leak under the floorboards last year and I have no idea how long the pipe had been leaking for but the concrete slab was saturated the entire ground floor. Since it's been repaired the house shakes when buses go past. Does anyone know if this will stop or is the...

    Fence keeps blowing down

    I have a 2m high close boarded fence that is boarded in the outside of my land but it has blown down 4 times in 10 years snapping the posts off at ground level. If I board it so I have the good side facing me will that stop the wind? Thanks for any advice you can give me

    Ongoing problems after delay in water supply pipe repair

    Yes the insurance company replaced the pipe as it was my pipe but they took 5 months to do so and I now have collapsed plumbing, sunken paths and cracks in the internal plaster on the walls.

    Ongoing problems after delay in water supply pipe repair

    Hi everyone! I've been having lots of problems with plumbing, drainage and electrics since having my leaking water supply pipe replaced 2 years ago next month. I reported the leaking supply pipe to my insurance company in the March and the pipe continued to run under my property until August...

    Soil pipe collapse (Ed.)

    Yes there are two clay pipes going into the manhole, one from the gulley, bath and basin the other from the toilet then there's a square hole which I assume is to the soil stack to prevent gas coming into the building which makes no difference now if the pipes have broken! There is a leaking...

    Soil pipe collapse (Ed.)

    I don't know until the floor is taken up. The guy from the water company said he thinks the collar may have come off and the water has been leaking out.

    Soil pipe collapse (Ed.)

    The toilet pipe goes under the floor so it has to be joined where it attaches to the toilet.

    I have the number of a very good plumber, just wasn't sure if I'd need a drainage guy as well. Thank You!

    Soil pipe collapse (Ed.)

    No I have a toilet at the front or I would be in trouble! There is a damp smell but no pong so I think maybe water has been leaking and I've caught it just as it's completely collapsed.

    Soil pipe collapse (Ed.)

    The floor under the boards is concrete and the boards are on joists. The rainwater goes down the drain as it's a combined sewer. There are no cracks in the wall but cracking sounds until I stopped using that toilet 4 days ago. I was worried insurance might say the bathroom is old and they...
