rapunzel Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hi Can anyone recommend a drainage expert who might be able to help with a possible leak under our cellar floor, I have seen good reviews for Dave the Drain but have not been able to get hold of him so any other suggestions would be helpful.Thank you Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/289991-help-with-water-leaking-in-cellar/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbiscuits Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 You think it's a leaking pipe, rather than just ground water penetrating into the cellar?I reckon that unless you've actually had your basement converted (including floating floor and pump/sump) then occasional water ingress is pretty much the norm.

rapunzel Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Sorry, did you have a recommendation of someone who can come and have a look or just wanted to give your expert opinion?

fishbiscuits Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Well I've been there... water coming into cellar floor. And tried calling various trades (including my buildings insurer) who all just basically said it's normal and not actually a problem.Sorry if you don't find my input useful. But you sound fairly unpleasant so I won't lose any sleep over it.

sjsl Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Yes, what fishbiscuits said, there's a lot of wet cellars round these parts... if you have ?thousands spare you can get it properly tanked, but ignore me as I can't recommend anyone.

Lynne Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 No help to you really, rapunzel, but we get water in the cellar after really heavy rain. I think it happens a lot round here.
