1850s mid-terrace property. The front rainwater down-pipe with all of the houses, pipe vertically straight into the ground. Mine, turns 90 degs and drains out onto the road but the neighbours, I cannot see where theirs goes to. Could it be that there is an underground channel / pipe servicing all of these down-pipes running along the front of the houses?
The reason I ask is because we have damp in our front wall and the front corner of the adjoining wall in the hall. I'm at a loss as to what could be causing it. If there is an underground pipe which was blocked or broken then this could be it.
Anyone any ideas how these systems work?
