Oh interesting .... Would be great if ours did the same!

It has crossed my mind.... The healing powers of the Og!

We did actually have someone dig down at the front of the property as we first thought it was a leak from an old capped off service pipe. He dug down quite far although I'm not sure it was quite as far as our sub floor. He didn't come across any water while digging. It does seem there's a lot of underground water around in ED though so I'm thinking there's still a strong possibility that it is ground water and we`ll have to look into installing a sump pump. Interesting what Penguine68 says about changes in legislation. We have contacted Thames Water who are apparently "looking in to it" Will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Hmmm maybe it is something to do with the river og then... suppose lots of people might have the same thing but wouldn't necessarily know about it.

Thanks for your replies, really helpful. I will definitely contact Thames Water, it does seem like it's a strong possibility it's ground water.

We've recently discovered about 3cm of cleanish (not sewage!) water under our floorboards. It runs under the whole of our ground floor flat. We had it pumped out but in returned within 20 mins to the same level. Have had several people in to look at it but no one can find a leak or where it's coming from. There 's quite a drop from our floor boards to the sub floor below of about 1.5 metres. Someone mentioned that it could be the water table in ED. Has anyone heard of the water table being high here or had a similar problem/ experience? We are on Oglander rd.
