A wet patch which is around 2 foot across (and growing) has appeared on the sitting room carpet. The carpet is completely sodden & after soaking up what we could (standing on towels!) it keeps coming back.
The floor is ground floor and near no pipes.
I can only think that maybe a spring has sprung?! It's definitely coming up from the ground.
There is a river 200m away, stream 40m away & water meadows on the other side of the road.
The house was built around 1990 & the damp proof course surely should have stopped any water coming up?!
Any suggestions, help, advice, experience?!
Our boiler broke today so I'm using electric heaters to warm the room & avoid too much damp within the room!
