Flooding - Cellars in Upland Road

[Tibbs]

I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced flooding within their house and or cellar since Southwark had completed their receint flood prevention works on Underhill and St Dunstans? We have lived in our property for 6 years and never had any problems with our cellar until now. Now we have 12 inches of water and it's still rising. It is not a plumbing issue. Our insurance company have said that we are not covered as it is caused by the rise in water table.

Please let me know if you have experienced any flooding around Upland Road too. We are trying to get in touch with the right person at Southwark council.

Thank you!

Can I ask what flood prevention works were carried by Southwark out on Dunstans and Underhill roads?

Hi Tibbs

We've lived on Upland Rd for 9.5 years. In the first few years we used to get quite a significant amount of water in periods of heavy rain, but this stopped happening about 5 or 6 years ago and our cellar is now quite dry.

Feel free to pm me for our address - if we live close by and you are affected but we aren't, maybe it needs looked into further in your property?

Hi Tibbs

Is it clear water? If yes could it be a leak on the supply pipe into your property? Thames Water will come and check for leaks on the supply pipe and repair for free if the old lead pipe needs replacing.
