Hello,
I'm looking for some advice...any provided would be appreciated.
The previous owners of the house had a patio at the back which sat flush with the DPC. They also had a blocked gutter on that corner so puddles of water would congregate on the patio. As a result, the pointing has disappeared over the years.
Since then, i've had the patio taken up and a new one laid below the dpc, with aco drains.
The dpc is functioning, and there is no rising damp which is good.
My question is, is it safe to leave the dpc as it is, or would you point over it?
Reason i ask is because i think i have ants coming in around it.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks!
