“I have a four-month-old son and when he was just two weeks old, water started flowing from the outside wall into the electrical sockets and destroyed the carpet in his bedroom.

“We have to sleep on my sister’s sofa at Aintree,” she said.

Referring to the ceiling leak, she said: “It’s dangerous, it’s my baby’s room – it could have killed my baby.”

“It was like a powerful shower came on and they kept saying all sorts of things to me.”

“It got on his and his sister’s toys. It destroyed everything,” she added.
