Hi All,
Our new house has an air brick at the front of the property, but is below ground level as can be seen on the picture below:
I know that air bricks are important for preventing damp, but my fear is that because of the positioning of this one it's just going to collect and channel rain water under the house and cause more damp than it prevents.
Would like to have your views on whether it's better to keep this air brick or to block it up and fill in the hole.
Thanks!
