Collapsed Pipe!!

Newbee012

Hope this is the right place for this post.

We've just discovered a collapsed pipe under our house. Its a mid terraced house & the pipe in question comes from the front of the house(kitchen) to the back of the house with water leaking out at this point onto to the path in the garden.
The house was built in 2005 so i really think this should not have happened so soon.
As the pipe runs right under the house from front to back I would imagine the floor would have to be dug up to access it or is there anyway around doing that??
We have zero funds and the thoughts of having to spend thousands on fixing it is killing us.
But we've been told it could lead to subsidence if we don't get it fixed.
Really hoping Home insurance will cover it. We only just changed to a new insurance company from the 1st of this month.
Or is it something that would be covered by the builder? or under homebond prehaps. Would it be easier just to go to one of those companys that look after filling cliams on your behalf?

Just don't know where to turn! Any advice appreciated.
