What is a Damp Proofing Course?

Damp proofing courses are essential in safeguarding buildings from moisture ingress. As the name suggests, these are physical barriers placed in walls and floors to prevent dampness from rising up through a building. At Damp Works NI in Belfast, we specialize in providing top-quality damp proofing courses to protect your property.

There are several types of damp proofing courses: damp proof course (DPC) in walls, damp proof membrane (DPM) for floors, and chemical injections for retrofitting. A DPC is typically a strip of impermeable material placed horizontally in walls above ground level. A DPM is a sheet of moisture-resistant material laid under the concrete floor. Chemical injections are used where a DPC might be missing or compromised.

Whether you’re constructing a new building or retrofitting an existing one in Belfast, it’s crucial to have a well-installed damp proofing course. Damp Works NI has the expertise and experience to ensure your property is protected against dampness, enhancing its longevity and value. Trust us to keep your premises dry and healthy.
