Summer is a great time for a spot of external maintenance.
#flood water will find it's wicked way in through poorly maintained mortar & through air bricks. The self closing airbrick ( pictured) can stop that!

This is really helpful, we know it's often quite difficult to unpick which bit of a watercourse or drainage system is causing a problem and who can help with that, but this is a good starter for 10 @LeedsFAS
