I have moved in to a new home recently, and I have noticed that a garden boundary wall which adjoins the house brickwork, there appears to be no damp course in the wall, and also, no damp course between the garden wall and the house.
As you can see from the pictures, the joint is mortar. Since there 'appears' to be no DPC in the high garden wall, I would either expect the joint between the house and the garden wall to contain DPC, or, the joint to be made up of mastic.
I have looked at similar properties on the development, and the joint appears to be mastic.
Not being a builder, what would I expect between the walls if the garden wall has no DPC?
I hope I have explained this well enough.
