Well it looks like the whole kitchen floor is green, this is after cleaning the concrete with a bit of soapy water. The floorboards are green too, I just haven't pulled all the laminate up or cleaned them yet. Oh and this is what it looks like behind the dishwasher. The mould/damp patches are...

Not been under the suspended floor before. The living room is definitely floorboards too. These 2 rooms off the kitchen are both part of an extention so not sure if that's why the bit of floor in the kitchen between the 2 rooms is concrete. I'm assuming those rooms are concrete flooring too...

Okay, will give it a go. There's 2 radiators nearby, and I'm gonna try and get the floorboards up to look underneath. Thanks for all your help!

Nope, that's the living room door next to the green bit. Open door is under the stairs and the back door is to the left where the bit of black curtain is (straight on is the dining room extension).

The kitchen floor is floorboards and concrete? It's mostly floorboards, and then concrete near the back door I think. I haven't took all the laminate up yet but you can see here how it's a mix of both. I don't think the laminate did have gaps. It's been down since before I moved here nearly 8...

Okay I'll get the paint scraped off the wall tomorrow! The concrete just seems flat really, can't see a slope either way. This is a full pic of it. There's still a bit of decking I need to get up tomorrow too. I took a kebab skewer to the air bricks and some holes, it would only go so far...

Well I've finally pulled the decking up today, and cleaned the air bricks out and this is what it looks like.

This is the upstairs floor. I did have a feel around in lots of places and it was completely dry. I haven't tackled the laminate downstairs yet, going to take the decking up and check the drains first. Then see what's going on under the laminate. I know I'll need to replace the flooring...

Well I've had the floorboards up where they have raised and can't see any signs of a leak, all is dry so still clueless as to why they've gone like that. Decking is the next one to tackle.

Oh gosh, I hope not! And nope, not on a water meter.

Yep, that's the jobs for this week. Going to pull the decking and laminate up and pull the carpet back and see what's going on then going to get someone out to fix whatever problems there are. I've just pulled up a piece of laminate and it's concrete underneath, not floorboards like I thought.

It's the same flooring, just different lighting.

Okay thank you , will get it pulled up this week and see what i find. I'm pretty sure there's floorboards under the laminate so assuming I'll need to take some of them up too?

The bit of laminate by the washer was damaged by a leak from my old washing machine a few years ago so had already separated a bit but it's got much worse over the last week or so. And from the other pics, it's raising at the edges in places and then dipping when you stand on it in other places.

Yes I have 6 children in the house. Not sure if it's relevant but there is a manhole cover for the waste pipes underneath the decking as well.
