Water leak in party wall

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.31 PM

For two years I have had a wet wall now found to be caused by a leak in nextdoors water pipe. The old lead pipe in cavity was fixed a week ago hence when problem continued the builders were convinced it was my problem. So they demolished my wall only to find the leak was caused by a pipe higher up on their side !!! Anyway they have fixed leak and have said they will rebuild wall, replaster and replace wood planks on floor and skirting board - all water damaged. My concern is wet /dry rot in timbers of floor considering this problem has been ongoing for the last two years! Should I let them them fix wall / floor etc immediately or get someone to check floor timber before cover up ?
