Here is the situation.

I built my house by direct labout in 2006/2007. I moved in last March and have been living in the house for 9 months at this stage.

2 weeks ago I noticed rising damp over some of the skirting boards. I got the plumber out and it looks like we may have a leak in the Domestic Hot Water system (Pressure dropping slightly over 24 hours). I had an 'expert' come out with oner of those sound amplification devices and he had absolutly no idea where the leak was.

Anyway it looks like we may need to take up one or two floors. Now here is my question.... Should my house insurance be used to cover the damages or should be plumbers insurance be used in this situation???

Thanks in Advance.

You need to speak to your solicitor on this one as apportioning blame is a legal issue, I am locking this.
