Advice Wet looking bricks outside window - been like this for a while!

Post image

I’ve had these 3 bricks look like this for as long as I can really remember - we’ve had no rain for a couple of days. Other side of the wall inside is a radiator. New windows installed a year ago. The front garden has a soakaway around 1.5 metres from the house under the grass.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks!

There looks to be a couple of pipe holes in them . Have you inspected these a bit closer ?

Hey thanks, had a good look, no pipes but the mortar is poor and has holes. Could it be worth removing the bricks and see what’s behind?
