I did that last time and it was clear. I'll try again tomorrow just incase. Our neighbours had a similar problem (not on our pipeline) as the sewerage was backing up into upstairs shower and yard. manhole was blocked and it turned out to be lumps of cement blocking the pipes.

Ok, after almost 10 months I just smelt it again coming from the drain. Why oh why would this happen again after such a long gap ? :cautious:

Ok, so I managed to lift one with crowbar and get the rest out easily (After doing some tests, I found what I think is a large diamond underneath one of the blocks) I have set them back with some sharp sand and soil mixture, and when I get some mortar I shall point them. My question is, the...

It's not running down the inside as just gone out (sorry the images are not great as just spotted this in the dark, and the shed is in need of de-cluttering.) The base of the shed it stands on is sound and yet above that it has seeped into the inside. The very bottom edge of the cladding is dry...

Aaaand again after re-sealing it it has lifted again because a small amount of water from the draining board has breached it for a moment. I have now sealed it while open before I clamp it shut in the hope of it staying shut.

This premium washbasin cabinet was fitted only 2 years ago and it has already started to split. As it is I think MDF it shouldn't fail like this. Unfortunately the guy who fitted it ordered it for us from VP after we decided on which model from their website. We don't have the receipt (or...

It is coming in some other way and not capillary otherwise it would be wet on the floor as well as the raised bit that is adjacent to the outer panels. It has got worse and water is coming down from underneath the potting bench, but above the bench it is dry. The stain you can see is dry and...

Well yes but I would have thought as water doesn't travel upwards against gravity the vents would at least create airflow.

Water is lazy and always finds the path of least resistance :(

No but as water travels down the overlaps I didn't think it needed it. Like roof slates

It is when painted with weathershield.

It's not from underneath, it's coming from higher up. You can see where water has trickled down. If it were from the ground up the whole shed would be affected. It's sitting on concrete flags.

Well I absolutely cannot fathom how water is getting into the inside of my potting shed which has been painted on the outside with Dulux Weathershield with no visible way on the outside where it is getting in. The very bottom of the tongue and groove piece is soft to the touch which again...

No, I managed to flatten the bumps with clamps for a few days and then filled. I feared clamping after filling would squeeze out excess that would set hard as I have to use wooden blocks with the clamps.

But it says on the pack it is a filler and glue

Perhaps I should have used more colourfill and pushed it in more

Well I'm absolutely gutted. Just in the last day or so after weeks of holding it's lifting again. So the Colourfill so called glue and sealent doesn't work after all.

Our cooker backs onto an adjoining wall so a huge job to send a pipe through the other side. The last hood was just a filter, not an extractor as such.

Keeping the bathroom door shut while in use and then opening the window contains it until evapouration is even cheaper which I now do. Fitting an extractor fan is expensive and an eyesore. We had an extractor hood on our old kitchen we inherited after moving in and it did zilch. Again, keep pan...

If money was no object I would have the dehumidifier running in the room all the time as well as central heating on a thermostat but I just can't afford it.
