Over the past 4 years up to mid-January this year we have had an Issue with flooding, we had contacted various council departments / Environment / Local Councillor / MP for the district regarding who was responsible for the flooding. It came down to Anglian Water, their flap valve taking water into the local broad had fallen of, therefor the water from the broad which is tidal back flowed in and out causing flooding of the gardens. This was established in April 2014 after having an onsite meeting with Anglian Water / environment and I, it took them to mid-January this year to rectify the situation. It does seem to be the case Anglian Water do not maintained / inspect these flap valves until a flooding situation arises.
Within the last year I contacted a local builder due to the fact having problems with the conservatory wall moving also the outside patio cracking. He advised me to prop the wall up with timber and wait until the ground settles again.
In the last 6 months the crack / gap in the conservatory wall as not moved, the concrete patio has cracked more.
I have not yet contacted my own building insurer or Anglian Water as I have been waiting for the outcome when the ground settles down.
Any comments or guidance would be appreciated
