Damp rising through foundations

[^woody^]

If you specified and paid for a dry floor, then that is what you should expect.

Five years is with the limitation period for which you could claim via a civil claim, if you were minded to.

For context, there is no expectation that a non-habitable garage should be damp-free (e.g. no DPC and no DPM) unless you specified it.

Rain will pass thru a single skin with nothing to prevent it .

Correct.

I asked the BCO on a garage we were building is she wanted to inspect the oversite detail and damp? She said just that, i.e. you can build it without DPC, as far as the reg's are concerned.

I don't know why anyone would though.
