Need help with damp!

[transam]

The water main I think but the meter stops if I turn the water off. No central heating pipes.

Don’t quite understand

Meter stops when you turn the water off

Yes

Where are you turning the water off at your property boundary ????

Where is the meter located?

Is the lounge timber floored? The air brick, at the bottom of the bay, suggests it might be.

Why are there air bricks in the bay if it’s a concrete floor? A later repair job after the floor rotted?

Very annoyingly, when there is a leaking pipe in the ground causing damp and rotting the floor, some numbskulls like to pour concrete over it instead of mending it.

This makes the job of digging out the leaking pipe and replacing it a hundred times more difficult and expensive.
