Injected damp proof course

In all cases the damp proof course should, as far as possible, be installed in accordance with the British Standard ‘Code of Practice for Installation of Chemical Damp Proof Courses’ BS6576 (1985). Usually we will install the injected DPC below the level of timber floors to prevent rising damp from affecting floor joists and other sub-floor timbers as well as preventing rising damp from travelling up the wall

10mm holes are drilled at approximate intervals of 100mm , usually two holes in every stretcher and one hole in every header of a normal 225mm wall built in Flemish Bond- which is the most common in London houses, and then a silicon based damp proofing fluid is injected under low –pressure until the brickwork is saturated.

The chosen height for the new damp proof course DPC height should always be at least 150mm above external ground level to prevent rainwater splash back from causing low-level water ingress, brickwork below this level is coated with a silicon water repellent to prevent any penetrating damp. If the treated rooms have solid floors then we insert the DPC as close to floor level as possible. Vertical DPCs are also installed to connect horizontal DPCs where ground levels change and to isolate untreated wall areas (on adjoining properties, garden walls etc.)

For prices on the installation of an injected dpc please send the length and thickness of wall that needs treatment and we will provide you with a fixed price quote for a new injected damp proof course.
