Water under floor

[Ian D]

Have recently bought a renovation project a 1967 dorma bungalow,or removing the kitchen the floor was rotten I thought it was an old water leak but when lift the floor boards there is about inch of water , there is no leaks so it must be either coming from outside or raising threw the concrete .

 

i spoke to a neighbour and he says his is the same but it usually drys out in summer and when the heating is on.

 

as the house has been empty for 18months .

 

amy one else had a similar problem and or what is the best solution to fix it?

[nod]

My brother in law has had the same problem

I spoke to two of the neibours and they said the same as yours

Ive dug out a hole about a mtr by 300 under the floor and installed a sump pump Bought for about £100

Wheb there is heavy rain 

It runs for about five minutes 

Hope this helps
