I have been getting signs of water on one side of a house I have bought.
Water is coming on days it rains. To test the source, I put a hose pipe in the rain water gully in front of the house and that seemed to be the source of the problem.
I dug out the gully and it leads to nothing. So basically, a clay gully is buried in front of the house, with the bottom end connecting to nothing what so ever. Has anyone ever come across this?
What would be the best solution to fix the water issue?
I am considering, installing a new gully and running a pipe to the main soil stack. Would this require building regulations?
Any advice and help would be appreciated.
