I am getting my first home build and the weep inserts are bit higher than the usual height. they suppose to be on a second brick from the slab but its on the third brick, does it causes a major problem, if so how can it be rectified? Check your engineering drawings. The important thing is that your internal floor level is HIGHER than your DPC/weephole bottom. Typically with concrete slab houses, they can’t afford to have 2C brick then DPC as that will mean much deeper edge beam but It can be done but more expensive.

We have a sunken lounge room on a concrte slab that is some 250mm lower than the rest of the building. The base brick course of the weep holes are 230mm above the lounge room floor level. Twice now this floor has been flooded after massive rain events (including last weeks) and the water seems to be coming in through the weep holes. On the outside of the building the ground level is only about 80mm below the base of the weep holes. My question is should the occurence of water entering the lounge room be solved if I can lower the ground surface to at least 150mm below the base of the weep holes and drain it away or do I need to go deeper below the lounge slab floor level? interesting situation what happened after builder issued final invoice? did you list as defect or not does the building surveyor have any responsibility? ie. issuing… 13 39079 it depends on the natural ground level, if they excavated their boundary wall needed to be built as a retaining wall.
