Hi
Three months ago we had a new drive done - block cobble paving, very similar to the normal brick, anyway
Our drive has always had its problems from the manhole on bad days, when the rain has been heavy, the pressure from the water used to lift the manhole cover slightly and sewer waste would seep out. This happend in the road directly across from us also.
We thought that Yorkshire Water had sorted this problem due to several complaints from myself and other neighbours in the area.
A couple of weeks ago they were pumping and messing on the mainroad doing whatever but its still happening - only now its become worse.
This morning I was woken at 04:45 by heavy water flowing from the manhole on our drive. The cover had been totally lifted off and a powerful flow of water was gushing out trickling down onto the main road
I had to get up to move the waste as its was coverd in well you know what.
This has happend at least 5 times now since the drive has been done and I'm concerned about the damage it may be doing to the drive. Every time we call Yorkshire Water they tell us its under investigation -thats it basically.
My wife is under great stress about this and i'm loosing hope, its embarassing and unhealthy - What can we do ?
Thanks for any advise
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I forgot to mension that i was thinking about driving my car wheel over the top to see if this would stop the cover from lifting when its bad weather.
