Damp Proof Course Installation Nottingham
Professional DPC installation and replacement to prevent rising damp. Essential for property sales, surveys, and long-term protection of your home.
What is a Damp Proof Course?
A Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a barrier built into walls to prevent moisture from rising through the structure by capillary action. It's an essential component of any building, protecting against rising damp and the damage it causes.
Modern properties have DPCs installed during construction, usually as a plastic membrane or slate layer in the brickwork around 150mm above ground level. However, older properties may have no DPC, or the original DPC may have failed or been damaged over time.
Professional DPC installation or replacement is crucial for preventing rising damp and is often required when buying or selling property. Mortgage lenders typically want proof of an effective DPC before approving loans, making it essential for smooth property transactions.
