Turn your damp house into a dry home with us.Excess moisture absorption in your property can cause damp issues and damage the walls. So it is essential to use a Damp Proof Course (DPC) to protect your property against moisture rising from the ground. Therefore, you must ensure that your property has a practical damp-proof course to repel water from the land.
Several types of Damp-proof courses can be used on your property's walls. Mainly three types of DPC used are
- Damp Proof Course Injection
- Mortar Injection Damp Proof Course
- Electro Osmotic Damp Proof Course
The DPC course is provided wherever there is a doubt of water rise due to capillary action. In buildings with a brick wall structure, a DPC is a layer of waterproof material running continuously around the building, usually just above ground level or above flood level, such that although the brickwork below it is going to get wet, the water will not rise by capillary action within the wall.
Look out for black spot mould forming on interior walls, plaster peeling off walls, wet rot, watermarks created by either rising damp or penetrating damp and other damages caused by moisture. If all these signs are present, you need a damp proof course to save your property from timber decay or structural damage.
