Rising Damp Treatment - Damp Proof Course
A damp proof course (DPC) is an important part of the building process as it prevents rising damp.
Rising damp is a result of dampness in the ground which is drawn up via the capillary channels in to any building fabric.
Usually a damp proof course (DPC) is installed during construction of the building. In the new build process the damp proof course is a membrane. It is placed into a mortar course at the base of the walls. In older buildings bitumen or slate was used as the damp proof course and some older buildings have no damp proof course.
Damp Proof Course Systems
A damp proof course is designed to stop the dampness at low level before it causes any problems higher up the walls.
Often an old damp proof course fails. If it does or there isn't one, a new DPC can be installed as a remedial measure. Usually one of the following methods would be used: chemical damp proof course injection, physical damp proof course or electro-osmosis damp proof course.
