Muddy water: literally in my room

Posted by: warwick on 11 October 2006

Not Muddy Waters but muddy water. Water came through wall and onto the carpet staining it brown. Have cleaned up a bit with soapy water and now drying with newspapers.

Thank goodness I was in and unplugged hi-fi etc which is situated 2-3 feet from the damp patch. when I heard thunder (power surge possibility).

Waiting on landlord replying to my text message.

In words used elswhere on this forum tonight...oh dear!

Hope you manage to get things sorted. You'll probably need to get a carpet cleaner in.

hi,

If the water came through the wall, then you have a blocked or bridged cavity or a failed damp course.
