    Housing foundations damaged by flooding from uphill woodland

    Thanks for the suggestion. Just had Anglian water come round to assess and after an hour of investigating their serious summary was to move.

    Housing foundations damaged by flooding from uphill woodland

    Just dug down a good few feet and it doesn't look like the downpipe runs parallel along my house in the terrace :( I asked the neighbour if I could connect a drain to hers and she said no because she doesn't want excess water to deal with on her side. Back to the drawing board.

    Housing foundations damaged by flooding from uphill woodland

    It is nearest to the shared fence so only 50cm or so from my side of the fence. That would be amazing if there was something like that I could tap into. I would have to take up the paving slab and dig down to see. presumably I wouldn't have to dig down very far to see pipework if it's a surface...

    Housing foundations damaged by flooding from uphill woodland

    The neighbour to the right of me has paved her entire garden in stones levelling it higher than mine, I can't prove she did that to offset the issue but when I asked she wasn't very cooperative and said her garden is fine so it isn't her problem. The house to the left of me is slightly higher up...

    Neither neighbour is affected as they are both end of terrace. On my left side the neighbour has a storm water drain and on the right side the neighbour has a downpipe that surface water drains into.

    Hello, Thank you in advance to anyone that takes the time to read this, I am desperate for suggestions from anyone that might be able to help me. I brought a mid-terrace home last year where my back garden backs on to an uphill woodland/wasteland still owned by the property developer. my...
