Water that runs off of buildings needs to go into a drain not into someone´s garden. The consequences of not doing this can be serious. Sam shares a sad story that demonstrates this. Sometimes water in the subfloor comes from the water table rising. When water in the subfloor starts to evaporate it can lead to mould.
