Rising damp problems caused by a failing damp proof course, or – in older properties – no dpc whatsoever, can be overcome quickly, easily and totally with the physical insertion dpc system from Dampcoursing Ltd.
There is a common misconception that the only way of dealing with rising damp in existing properties is by using a chemical damp proofing system. However, this is not the case, and the physical option brings with it greater reliability and cost effectiveness.
According to the Building Research Establishment’s Digest 245, a physical dpc is the only completely sure method of curing rising damp. This is exactly what Dampcoursing offers – a completely sure method. To reaffirm this statement, Dampcoursing gives an insurance-backed 50 year guarantee with every installation.

Suitable for both brick and stone walls of any thickness, the installation process includes the use of specialist cutting equipment
to cut 1m long horizontal slot through the full thickness of the wall.
The thickness of the cutting blade creates the precise opening for the insertion of the DPC along with the bedding mortar and packing.
The new dpc is inserted, and the process repeated until the work is complete.
In solid stone walls, any large stones are removed to insert the dpc, and then replaced after the installation has been carried out so that the work is barely noticeable.
Once the mortar has properly dried, repointing work is carried out to bring a neat and tidy finish to the building, while retaining any traditional character it may have.
Reliability and durability are key features of the physical dpc. It will outlast chemical alternatives, and is
