When it comes to durability, nothing beats the physical dpc in a building. In the unlikely event that this type of damp proof course should fail, Dampcoursing Ltd. offers an innovative ‘like for like’ replacement which comes with a staggering 50 year guarantee.
  Whether the property has a failed dpc, or never had one in the first place, a new physical dpc can be inserted thanks to the specialist service offered by Dampcoursing – a package that out-performs any chemical option that might be considered.
  The same installation process is used for both situations, and walls of up to 1m thick can be accommodated which should cover most renovation projects. The DPC material taken to site is cut to meet the individual demands of each project.
Specialist cutting equipment is used to cut a 1m long section through the wall.
  The thickness of the cutting blade creates the precise opening for the insertion of the DPC along with the bedding mortar.

  This process is repeated – 1m at a time.

  Once the mortar has properly dried, repointing work is carried out along the length of the work to bring a neat and tidy finish to the building, while retaining any traditional character it may have.

  As managing director of Dampcoursing, Mark Brickell states: “Chemical injection damp courses are nowhere near as effective as the physical insertion method. If you want at least 50 years top performance from a dpc, then the physical option is the only choice.”
