I am building an extension and renovating my home. I am in a flood zone and my builder is asking me about the cavity on the extension saying he normally installs weep holes through the DPC layer and wanted my thoughts on this due to flood risks. 

I am wondering can we skip them entirely or is it best to use something like this? I believe we need over 50 for my build

I am also installing EWI everywhere

Just have normal weeps above the cavity trays over lintels.  I don't know why you need them at low level.


Wouldn't you need them at both levels?

I am thinking of skipping near DPC for now and just retrofitting the flood ones if it turns into an issue, but still not entirely sure of this decision.
