I have today received a letter from the water board requiring access to our garden to repair the mains sewer. There is no timeline or forecast of duration just a scary leaflet talking about digging up the area, cutting down trees and how we would get compensation. Has anyone had any experience of this?
I think we should employ a surveyor to advise us as we live in a very old house that has previously had subsidence and been flooded due to a broken drain ( which we always thought was caused by water board works but they refuted), so I am really worried that a problem may arise months from now following on from this disruption. How would I find such a person??
All advice greatly appreciated.
