Thanks chaps. We were just starting to get the clean up operation under way, and, lo and behold, we had torrential rain early this morning and its back to square one with water coming in again!

Still, we managed to get a roofer so at least we will have the water from the top stopped soon, now how to work out how to stop water coming up through the foundations.... any drainage/structural engineers out there??  :z7

Speaking to the farmer who was there when the house was built, never been an issue in the 50 years the house has stood. As he said, 14.7 inches of rain since December the 30th is going to be an issue anywhere! Another 2-3" last night :(
