There have been past threads on this problem - there are underground streams coming down Underhill (and a spring in the garden of one house in the 90s) - but overall it is probably a water-table problem. Very heavy rain can cause localised problems including run-off as well.

We had this problem a few years ago in nunhead always after it rained heavily. Thames water kept fobbing us off with water table excuses until I told them I thought it was sewage. They tested it and said it did have ammonia in it, checked our drains with dye and said they were ok. if you live in a Victorian terrace, your drain is probably paired with a house on one side. Ours meet at a junction in our side return, go through to a junction in one next door neighbour's side return and out to the road under their house. N.B. Thames Water are responsible for the shared part. After months of battling, some intelligent chap from T.W. checked the drain on the OTHER neighbour's side and that was partly blocked, so when it rained heavily, it overflowed under their house and seeped into our cellar. Their cellar is blocked off and they didnt realise. Yuk.

Anyway, long story but it might be worth telling T.W. you think it might be sewage and they should come and check.

Coming home to a flooded basement is one of the worst things that can happen but happens in the springtime in a ton of homes. This is particularly true if you went on getaway during winter or did not use the water in the basement. Water lines freeze and break the pipes. This means that flooding when they melt.Get more information at: Payday Loan Money Advance

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
