A couple living in a Bulwell council home feared they could 'have been walking in water' in the property had they not found damage from a leak sooner. Ashley Daws, who lives in the property with his partner, said he found the issue when he had been moving furniture in the living room to clean.
Explaining he found an area of mould on the carpet last month, when he lifted the carpet Mr Daws said he found that all of the underlay was damp and there were large areas of mould across the living room floor. He explained a leak - believed to be from a next door property - had caused the problem.
Mr Daws said: "It was a slow leak that caused it but how long this leak has been ongoing for nobody seems to know, but if we had not lifted the carpets when we had done it could have been a lot worse and we would have been walking in water.
