Saturday's, er, "incident" meant that we had water bubbling up from the ground against the wall of our house for 29 hours or so. Do I need to worry* that it might have damaged the bricks / mortar / anything else?

*Okay, this is me we're talking about; I'm going to worry anyway. Maybe the question should be, how much do I need to worry?

Unless it was absolute torrents, it should be fine. If it kept on bubbling for weeks, I'd worry, or if it was really lots and lots and lots of water. But this is more like 'you raised your house's risk of problems by a few micromorts* and it may have issues in 20 year' rather than 'oh shit oh shit oh shit your house has a 50% chance of falling over'.



*or whatever these are for houses

Thank you for your advice, hilarityallen - it seems sensible.
