Damp Proof Course
All Services
Damp proofing is a protective process to ensure moisture cannot pass through the walls of a building to the interior. Damp proofing places a barrier in walls that prevents rising damp problems prevalent in modern homes.
Rising damp is unhealthy, unsightly and can lead to timber decay and heat loss. In addition it carries with it hygroscopic ground salts such as chlorides and nitrates which can absorb moisture from the atmosphere leading to wall dampness in conditions of high relative humidity.
The three basic ways in which damp-proof courses are used is to:
- Resist moisture penetration from below (rising damp).
- Resist moisture penetration from above.
- Resist moisture penetration from horizontal entry.
