The bottom of this wall needs repaired and tidied up. It has been like this for a long time and there is no damp inside the house that I know of. I lowered the ground level because it seemed too close to the damp course. I think the damp course is above the last row of bricks, and I read that the soil should be 150mm below this. However, now that I’ve done this, it exposes these sections of damaged render. Can I just get these damaged sections patched up do you think, or is there more to it than that? Would I have been better leaving the soil level as high as it was?
