There are currently 12 flood alerts in place affecting Lincolnshire and a village near Grantham experienced flooding in the streets and around some properties.
There was further heavy rainfall across the upper Witham catchment overnight.
Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue set up a temporary flood barrier to protect two properties on the Bourne Road estate in Colsterworth.
A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue said: “We were called at 8.19am to the Bourne Road estate at Colsterworth, to a poly boom pipe puncture.
“The Grantham crew attended, where they fixed and bolstered the flood barrier and diverted the water. They left at 10.57am.”
Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue added that they were called out to one further flood related issue in the county on Thursday morning.
South Kesteven District Council have also been seen dropping off additional sand bags in the area.

The government’s flood information service said this may lead to flooding of low lying lands and roads close to the river from Thursday morning.
Flood water is also running off from a field between the estate and the A1 for the fourth time in just over a month.
River levels are rising again and expected to remain high throughout the next few days.
