Identifying and Treating rising damp
RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS OF DPC ISSUES
Signs of DPC issues include damp patches on walls, signs of mould or mildew, peeling wallpaper, a musty smell, and visible moisture on internal walls. These signs become more significant if the DPC failure goes untreated.
TREATING DPC ISSUES
Treating DPC issues involves diagnosing the problem, eliminating the source of dampness, and treating affected areas. This often involves installing a new DPC via chemical injection or inserting a damp-proof layer.
POST-TREATMENT ACTIONS AND PREVENTION
Once the DPC is installed, any damaged plasterwork should be replaced. Ensuring proper ventilation and heating in the property is essential to prevent condensation and dampness. Prevention focuses on maintaining these measures and regular property check-ups.
THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DETECTION
Early detection of DPC issues enables more accessible treatment and cost reduction. Regular checks can help prevent extensive damage. If DPC issues are suspected, contact a professional surveyor or a damp-proofing specialist for an efficient analysis and treatment plan.

DPC FAQs
What is a Damp Proof Course (DPC)?
A DPC is a protective barrier installed in the walls of your property to prevent moisture from rising the walls. It is an essential part of protecting your property from damp.
What happens if the DPC fails?
If a DPC fails, the property becomes vulnerable to rising dampness. This can lead to structural damage, including decay in your property’s timber and masonry.
How is a DPC installed?
DPC is installed by drilling holes into the wall above ground level, injecting a special cream into the holes, and then re-plastering the wall.
How often should a DPC be checked or replaced?
A DPC should be checked regularly for signs of damage or failure. The need for replacement depends on the condition of the existing DPC and the severity of potential damp problems in the property. It’s recommended to seek professional advice for accurate assessment.
