The area of road outside of 16 Prospect Place in Grantham is sunken and whenever it rains this area of ground holds water and floods. In heavy rain it holds so much that rain water leaks through and into the cellar of the property.

We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report. We carried out an inspection on 19 August 2020, during prolonged heavy rainfall and there was no standing water present. It was noted that there were a number of cellar openings open and/or damaged within the footway, this could be causing the damp (cellar openings are the responsibility of the home owners to maintain). In addition, cellars should have adequate tanking provision and you may need to check condition of this as, if it is old, it may not be effective if it is out of the guarantee period. Thank you for reporting this matter.
State changed to: No further action
