We had another flood in the house today. The first was the weekend before the family returned, and while pretty extensive, as it had not happened again since I had ignored the problem.

This time as the rain was very heavy and sustained, the water flowed through 4 rooms on the ground floor. After we managed to stem the tide, we had a look at what was happening. A very simple matter of a bracket on the guttering had snapped so in heavy rain, the guttering bends tipping water down the walls.

A quick call was put in to the landlord explaining the problem and a request for their handyman to come round to fix the bracket. No show.
