See diagram.

Garage raft foundation been installed recently and I've the first row of soapbars around the first layer of the raft onto of the dpc.

I built up one corner 6 block high and finished for the day. Plumb and levels as can be but then remembered I forgot to put another layer of dpc on top of the soap bar.

I'm 95% taking this down when I go at it again tomorrow or is it even worth taking down and just continue building as I am seeing I've the dpc under the soap bar and under the raft in radon barrier.

I know in houses the dpc should be 150 above ground level but if I was to keep it like I have it built now, how is it possible for damp to cross into the garage floor.
