Is the electric in my garage hooked up?

[RT1187]

Couple of observations from your external house cable pic:
1. Some muppet has used the air brick to run a cable to the inside of the building hence bridging the cavity.
2. DPC cavity tray is not obvious, hence suspicion the DPC has been bridged by re-pointing the external brickwork.
3. No weep holes evident to drain the cavity wall, assumed cavity wall as the wall is in stretcher bond so therefore a 100mm skin.

Was any of this mentioned on your survey?

Survey said no breach to DPC and no sign of rising damp internally or externally.

Then the surveyor needs sacking, and the building society or whoever commissioned the survey need to seriously look at who they employ to carry out their inspections.
