I need some advice, who can I get into contact to help me. In 2010 the Municipality water pipe burst and dropped my driveway and they had to rebuild it again.. Every time it rains I have sand washing away from the locking blocks, it coursed the driveway to starting sinking in and the paving bricks fell into the hole. Standard bank Asser came out with the contractors that built my driveway and they said that there was not French drain put in or storm water pipe, so when it rains there is nowhere for the water to go. They said that they would put French drains outside my property and fix the two holes in the driveway because it not safe for us and the kids. Now Standard bank said that they will not be carrying out and work… My drive way is starting to collapse again. Please could you please tell me who can help me. Thanks Monica
