   What is a damp proof course?

   • All modern buildings have what is known as a Damp Proof Course. It is usually abbreviated to 'DPC', and in most buildings less than 30 years old, it consists of a DPM, which is a Damp Proof Membrane, an impermeable layer of material, most often a polyethylene or bitumen-polymer, that is laid in the bedding joint between two courses of bricks.

   Where should a damp proof course be installed?

   • Lower walls aren’t the only place where damp proof courses make an appearance. Vertical DPCs are sometimes installed, for example to prevent any risk of damp ingress where garden walls are joined to main elevations.

   What is a ground-level damp proof course?

   • Its purpose is to prevent moisture from the outdoor environment and the ground rising up through the brickwork via capillary action, which can render the walls damp and the building unusable. Ground-level damp proof courses have been mandatory in all British buildings since the Public Health Act of 1875. A typical polymer damp proof course

   What is a good alternative to a damp course?

   • The most commonly encountered alternatives are the brick damp course and the slate dpc. The brick dpc uses a clay brick with a very low absorption rate as a barrier to rising damp. The slate versions also rely on the impermeability of the slate to stop the 'wicking' of water via capillary action.

   What is the best material for damp evaporation & re-plastering?

   • Traditional lime mortars, renders and plasters are the correct materials to facilitate natural evaporation. Combined with a healthy flow of ventilation and re-plastering to any affected lower wall surfaces internally, this should go a long way to resolving damp problems with no need for modifications to the DPC.
