Water coming through conservatory floor

Question

Just bought a house and was looking to replace the vinyl flooring in the small rear conservatory.

Lifted it up and there was a lot of moisture underneath. I’ve removed the vinyl to try and dry it out, but I’ve noticed water is coming through the flooring.

It looks like it’s coming through the small air holes in the concrete and through parts of the edges.

What is causing this issue? Can I be repaired? What type of tradesperson could help with this?

Good afternoon Gina,

This might be simole as Paul mentioned burst pipe un the floor..
But it also might be just water reisi g throught when its raining and not taken away from thw putside walls..  
drainage might be needed around the outside walls of conservatiry.

This is potentially another possible cause but without inspecting  it would be hard to say for certain.

Would recommend to get plumber forat to check pipes..

All the best 👍

Hi Gina 
This sounds like you have a burst water pipe.
If it’s an old house there may not be a damp proof membrane installed when built & water is coming up through the slab
Best bet is to get a plumber or building inspector to come round & inspect it but it should be able to be fixed 
Kind regards Paul

It sounds like you have no DPM which is a polythene membrane what stops water rising to remedy the problem you need to dig up your conservatory floor and lay a membrane below your insulation and concrete floor

A ground worker is the man for the job
