We are currently renovating our house and temporarily not living there. I came on site this morning to find that someone had gained access to the back garden and opened the garden tap to full so that water was gushing out. The tap is on the back wall of the house and it may have been on like this for 8 hours or more.
The walls are solid brick (Victorian terrace) and by the time I arrived were wet externally to about waist height. They are concreted at the base but the concrete is cracked so that the water will have collected against the walls and then run out into the ground via the cracks. The floor inside the house is a solid floor and has a DPM under some concrete.
I'm worried that the large volume of water will have affected the house foundations (I can't imagine how much water this will have been). Although there doesn't appear to be much damage, is this something I should get checked out?
