   • Identifying The Damp Proof Course
   • Bending The Rules
   • Workarounds

   There are a number of alternatives to the modern dpc-on-a-roll, and these are sometimes found on older properties, particularly those built prior to the Second World War. 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...

   Where the dpc doesn't jump out and announce its presence, there are a few key indicators that can help in identifying the position. 1. - On many established properties, the dpc will usually be somewhere between 100mm and 450mm above the paving or ground level 2. - There is often a difference in brick type or brick appearance at the dpc 3. - Air-bri...

   The Building Regulations require at least 150mm between the dpc and the ground or any paving. This is what is known as 'Best Practice'. However, there are situations where it is just not possible, or practical, to maintain this regulation. On professional work, and new build projects, every possible effort should be made to ensure the 150mm rule is...

   The Dry Area arrangement

   If you look carefully, you can see the biggest drawback of this solution - the channel becomes a collecting point for fag ends and other litter.

   Drained channel arrangement

   This is a workaround used where there is a problem with accumulation of litter or other concerns that render an open 'dry area' channel impractical. A land drainage pipe, usually a perforated plastic type, is laid at the base of the channel, connected to the SW drainage system at a convenient point and covered with a clean gravel to a level no higher than the dpc. The walling may be protected by a drainage composite or tanking. This is a 'last-resort' workaround, usually restricted to special...

   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.

   What is a physical damp course?

   • Physical damp courses are installed during the construction of the structural walls. Typically made from hard-wearing and durable polymers, and in a variety of widths depending on the depth of wall and whether a horizontal, vertical, or stepped damp proof course is required.

   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 chemical damp proofing?

   • Chemical damp proofing, also known as an injectable damp proof course, involves injecting chemical agents or treatments at regular intervals into the mortar bed between courses of brick/blockwork, with the aim that the chemical will disperse within the porous material and create a new barrier to rising damp.

   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.

   Are internal damp proof membranes a good solution?

   • In instances where internal damp is an issue but remedial DPC solutions are not feasible, or too invasive, then internal damp proof membranes can be a quick and unobtrusive solution to protecting your internal environment from structural damp. Newton supplies a selection of damp proofing membranes for above ground applications.
