Thanks for replies so far: @butlers - sump pump yes 😉 and no, there are down pipes or guttering above that wall (side/end of terrace)... @silverglade5 - we thought about water table so waited and monitored it for a couple of weeks, but hasn't really rained past 2 weeks and still coming through as quick if not quicker than before... @dan2802 - yes contacted YW today, chap came out, said is clean water (not waste), no immediate explanation where its coming from & has said will add us to list for 'clean water team' (?) to check up the street in the coming days...

Hi there. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same recently and whether they can suggest solution or contacts. I have posted a Jobs Classified anyway separately but just looking for advice on this thread. Think there may be an issue recently with water pressure or drains in the S9 / Meadowhall area? Current issue: Cellar needing a water drainage solution (perhaps sub pump or clearing existing drain?) ASAP as groundwater coming up and in recently between floor and bottom of internal side wall and old internal drain/soakaway and dehumidifier not keeping up with it. Water is not likely sewerage as no smell and clear - so suspect is groundwater or maybe a water leak higher up the street as we are on a slope/hillside. Although cellar has some obvious damp with property being 100+yrs, we've never had this happen before in the 7 years we have been here. Room is only used for hardware storage so not looking to have tanked or converted into living space just need to get rid of the excess water now and have something in place to help going forward. Any advice or guidance much appreciated folks... Richard 🙂
