Just as the builders are making headway, they uncover a nasty surprise. The builders discover water seeping up through the floor in Lee's old dining room. The previous builder had laid concrete on top of a pipe instead of protecting it in a channel, crushing it to bursting point.
Water is one of the main causes of building damage and this leak is only the start of it. Left unchecked, leaks can quickly escalate - and only minutes later, Lee's place is rapidly flooding. Before any other work can continue, the builders need to break the pipe out and get it sealed off.
