Hi, Water under the floorboards is not necessarily a major issue. It's only really an issue if it's causing problems. You really need to determine where the water is originating from, has it occurred recently? Has it always been there? Is it from a natural spring? If it is recent and you think it might be from a water leak, then try to determine where the leak has originated from. If it's natural water, then has it been diverted recently (is there any new building work in the near vicinity? It might be worth contacting your water board as they are ultimately responsible for all surface water. Hope this helps. Cheers
