Hi, dug down on the side shown in the pic above, just found water around the edge of the concrete. Only really after rain though, after a week or so of ok weather it is fairly dry. I wondered about that conduit Line but am not sure what's in it. And haven't been able to find it. Thanks for your advice. So far i have not noticed any issues with doors and windows.
