Damp Proofing
- A Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a horizontal barrier between the bottom of the wall and the top of the foundation, designed to prevent any moisture from rising from the foundation.
- Use 25 millimetres thick cement concrete of proportion 1:1.5:3, mixed with the reccomended dosage of a suitable waterproofing compound.
- Provide DPC at a level out of the reach of any splashing water from the ground.
- DPC should not be less than 15 centimetres above the highest level of the ground.
