Hi,
All around my house the bricks below the damp proof course look wet and some areas has quite alot of green mould on them. its weird because the bricks above the DPC are more or less clean and dry.
Does this mean my DPC is ok (its slate)? the surveyor thought the slate was crumbling.
Also
Why are the bricks getting wet and mouldy, is it groundwater coming up, is this normal?
Last summer I did remove paving slabs all around the house as they were laid above the DPC, Im hoping the wetness and mould are a sign the bricks are drying out?
All comments welcomed, thanks in advance.
