    Water leaking from house

    Floorboards taken up this morning and it's bone dry, the bottom of the void under the joists is higher than the water leakage outside. It's still coming out constantly and is clear water so I think probably a mains leak. Customer has called Welsh Water and they are sending someone today or tomorrow.
