She took to TikTok to share a look at the green space outside the back of the , with her other half demonstrating just how dangerous it was.

As he walked across the grass, the floor underneath him was seen – with Lu admitting it was “like a bloody water bed”; than a garden.

“‘Get a new build’, they said,”; she wrote over the top of the clip.

“What’s going on under there?”; one person asked in the comments section.

“After speaking to the site manager they think it’s from the car wash behind,”; Lu replied.

“So a drainage problem causing my garden to fill with water.”;

“That’s a cop out- what is the building manager planning on doing to rectify?”; ”; someone else said.

“This seems like poor drainage for your lawn – which is what they should be addressing, otherwise it will happen often.”;

“Site manager is just trying to pass blame on there, get an independent guy to check it out – bet he will have a different answer,”; another wrote.

“Definitely a drainage problem, but still builder’s fault,”; someone else agreed.

“Water getting trapped between the subsoil and top soil, subsoil is a hard pan, groundworkers should have de-compacted ground before putting top soil in.”;

As another warned: “That’s going to turn into a huge sink hole.”;

“The retaining fence at the back – that’s where all the water’s coming through,”; another wrote.

“And then it’s flooding your garden, so you need to say to the developer that you need a proper soak-away, built in and dug in approximately a metre underground and done correctly.”;

“After speaking to site manager we have a car wash behind our house and we seem to think it’s a drain to do with that coming into our garden,”; Lu added in another comment.

“For anyone wondering it was built on an old car park so no flood plain.

“Hopefully drainage issue is sorted and new garden with no built in trampoline.”;
