Extensions

Damp outbuildings since neighbours extension build started

Hi, I have had issues with damp in what was an outbuilding adjoining my neighbours outbuilding since my neighbour had their side of the outbuilding removed for the construction of a 2 storey rear extension. I have now found their new extension is also built over a common supply pipe for water and t for outside toilet was blanked off. I don't know if damp is from underground pipework damage seeping up or rainwater seeping down to rear of now single skin outbuildings. How do I go about tackling who is responsible for the damp & get it rectified? Does he have to make good rear of outbuildings with access now limited to 3" gap & what can be done? When I've spoke to neighbour he says his builder can probably sort it but no suggestion how & said he will want paying as well. I don't believe I should have to pay for an issue which they have caused. Please advise.... TTBOB
